Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I like to spend time getting to know my host and sharing experiences, but I also like to do my own thing and spend some time exploring on my own. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I couchsurfed with someone for the first time in Lisbon back in 2014, and I've also gotten to know some people through events in Madrid. I look forward to meeting more Couchsurfers in the future!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Looking up at the highest point in Spain (Mount Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands) from the lowest point (the beach) was just incredible! It was beautiful, and it made me think about how big and small the world can be at the same time.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to make apple pie or speak like a native Pittsburgher (we have our own words for a lot of things, n'at!). I'd also love to learn how to make different vegetarian foods from everywhere I visit.
