About Me

CURRENT MISSION

relax and let life push me wherever it wants me to go / relajarme y permitir que la vida me empuje a dondequiera.

ABOUT ME

i am living in madrid until july and plan to travel around spain and portugal on the weekends. i get along well with almost everyone and would love to learn more about the local, day-to-day lives of people here, there, and everywhere!

i don't want to go on about my self too much but i've been told i'm honest, independent, caring and of course weird! we're all weird, which is what makes us interesting! my greatest oddities are that i love mornings; i can't live without writing, reading, and exercising; and that, in some ways, i'm more like a grandma than a 23-year-old!

this profile is in english but I LOVE TO SPEAK SPANISH! right now i can communicate just fine in spanish but i want to become fluent. spanish tastes like music!

any questions about me... just ask!

vivo en Madrid hasta julio y planeo viajar por españa y portugal durante los fines de semanas. me llevo bien con casi todos y me encantaría aprender más de las vidas diarias de gente en todas partes del mundo!

no quiero hablar mucho de mi misma pero se me ha dicho que soy honesta, independiente, cariñosa y por supuesto extraña! todos somos extraños, lo cual nos hace interesantes! me encantan las mañanas, escribir, leer, y ejercer. en algunas maneras, soy más como un abuelo que un joven de veintitrés años.

ME ENCANTA HABLAR ESPANOL! ahora puedo comunicar pero quiero lograr fluidez. el español sabe a la música.
si tengas preguntas… pregúntame!

PHILOSOPHY

breathe in, breathe out.
no answers allowed.
life is something like an endless exchange of energy.
---
respira adentro. respira afuera.
contestas prohibidas.
la vida es algo así un intercambio infinito de energía.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

as i currently rent one room from another's apartment, i don't have a couch to share. once i return to the states though, i should be able to offer some sleep space! i'm currently applying to doctorate programs in the u.s. so location t.b.d. (to be determined)!
---
ahora alquilo sólo un cuarto y no tengo ninguna sofa. cuando vuelvo a eeuu, sin embargo, debo tener una sofa libre. ahora solicito a programas doctoradas y todavía no sé mi casa próxima!
