My name is Jude. I am a very friendly person. I like to learn about culture and art. I love to eat and learn about local food/delicacies. I am in love with café con leche and Filipino cookies in Spain (which is ironic since I am a Filipino-American). I enjoy sports that are typically popular in the United States -- basketball and baseball. Also, I am trying to learn more about fútbol/soccer.

I am a positive person. | Sobre todo, soy optimista.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Coachsurfing to meet folks who can help me become more knowledgeable of a particular area that I could not learn as a "typical tourist".

I am planning on trying to stick to a budget so that I can see more of Spain, Europe, and the rest of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is mostly oldies (The Beatles, Motown, and 1990's Hip-Hop/Rap/R&B), pop, and latino music (from Celia Cruz to Daddy Yankee - depending).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach catchphrases and slang from the USA with friends through an app called, "Hello Talk" and through that same app I love to learn new languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, friendship, and knowledge. Overall, I love interacting with genuine people who like to practice new languages (especially if they want to learn English and/or learn more about where I am from in the USA, Chicago).
