About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never Stop Exploring (TNF)

ABOUT ME

I´m living in Spain teaching English to elementary school children. I love living in Europe because it is so easy to travel and see new things. I love learning about new places, people, ideas, and ways of life and traveling is my favorite way to do this. I did an exchange program in Ecuador for 5 months and it was the best experience of my life. I've been bitten by the travel bug!

I love people. I love spending time with my friends, family, and getting to know all sorts of people.

I think my favorite thing to do is laugh, and be around people who make me laugh.
I like to work with kids because of their creativity and carefree nature, and I wish we could all stay this way.

I´m currently doing a cheese tour of Europe. If you know a great cheese shop, please let me know and I´ll meet you there...
I'm really laid back and am usually down for almost anything!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to love and to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just started couch surfing in 2010 since I have been living in Europe. I've surfed couches in Brussels, Amsterdam, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Dublin and I have had some great experiences! Everyone has been so friendly and generous and I can't wait to host someone (either in Spain or wherever I end up) to give back!

Interests

I love traveling, making new friends, being with friends and family, sharing music, dancing, running, watching movies, going out, learning new languages, trying new foods, especially cheese...
