About Me

CURRENT MISSION

magnetic direction

ABOUT ME

I'm a student in Madrid and travel whenever my classes and bank account allow it. I have the terrible/wonderful habit of falling in love with every place I go and can never seem to shake the attachments, though I don't think I'd actually want to.

PHILOSOPHY

"Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt."
-Ludwig Wittgenstein

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have two beautiful (questionable) and surprisingly comfortable couches (not questionable!) couches, but my roommates have not yet been converted into CouchSurfing fanatics. So couch status is temporarily on hold. But I'm working on them, so hopefully soon! In the mean time I'd love to show anyone around my newly adopted city! I'll probably point you in the direction of Parque del Buen Retiro and the chocolate con churros at San Ginés.

Interests

Good music, food, and conversation. Hiking and dancing. Anything that's not watered down!

Teach, Learn, Share

Rather than an eye for an eye, let's do a word for a word.
And if you're here over a weekend, you're bound to learn a Swedish drinking song. I'll even write it down phonetically.
