CURRENT MISSION

Trying to live the Madrileña life...

ABOUT ME

I'm from a town right outside of Chicago but since August I have been studying in Madrid. My experience living abroad has been amazing and life-changing. While I do miss my family and my pets (one dog, three cats...it's a full house) I wouldn't change my experience for anything! When I'm not in class I love to read, run and explore new places. I don't like spending lots of time alone, and an ideal afternoon would be spent with interesting people and coffee. Definitely coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life the way you want to live it. You only get one shot. No regrets-life's too short to be anything but happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just surfing right now. I live with a host family so I can't offer up a space here in Madrid.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a beginner!

Interests

Traveling, reading, watching old movies, writing letters, history, eating new foods (and WAY too much of it), driving with the windows rolled down and the music turned up, sports, dancing, going on long runs, talking to anyone and everyone.
