"I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life." -Jeff Buckley I believe in the many thousand big moments embedded in each day, waiting to be discovered. In living life with an open heart and open mind. Practicing a posture of gratitude and love. I highly value education and consider myself a lifelong learner. I am currently teaching English in Spain and have been using this opportunity to explore Europe and discover all it has to offer.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I love to meet new people when I travel and to see new places from the shoes of those who live there and are a part of the culture. On my travels I have met some incredible people with unique stories and experiences. This is one part of traveling that enthralls me the most, learning about other's perspectives and lifestyles, engaging in conversation and creating new friendships.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: The Intouchables, Shawshank Redemption, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Wedding Crashers, I love to watch comedies and documentaries TV Shows: Friends, New Girl, Modern Family Music: The Head & The Heart, Mumford & Sons, Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Haim, Of Monsters & Men, The Lumineers, Lord Huron, John Mayer, Youth Lagoon, Beyonce, and so many others. I have very eclectic music tastes Books: Too many favorites to list
What I Can Share With Hosts
I have been lucky to grow up in a home with a very open door. My house was never quiet because there was always someone over visiting or staying with us. This has fostered my love for hospitality and loving others through providing a home for them. When I travel I love to discover what home means to others and how others do daily life. I consider it an honor to be let into someone's home and life and I promise to be a very respectful guest and to always clean up after myself and help out in any way.
