I’m 22 from the southern United States (Mississippi to be exact). I just finished college with degrees in Political Science and International Studies, but instead of getting a real job I’ve decided to take some time and travel. I love history, learning, exploring, and socializing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve traveled using all different types of accommodations, but the best experiences by far were always those in which I got to stay with and learn from the locals. To me, travel is so much more beautiful and rich when you get to share with locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mainly listen to Spanish music but not really picky. Don’t watch a lot of tv, but not opposed to it (favorites are comedies). I love to read. Love the classics, histories, and biographies. My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Costa Rica for a while and got to soak in much of Central America and all of its richness!

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Spanish and English fluently and love to teach! I love to learn languages and cultural customs. Have lots of fun stories to share from my travels this far!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have almost a year of ESL teaching experience and am more than willing to teach you anything else that I know.
