About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live, not exist...to love, laugh, to be of service, dance...that about covers it :)

ABOUT ME

Hello! I am from the US, but I currently live in Madrid where I am teaching English. Hablo un poco espanol, solo un poco, pero es muy importante para mi aprender!
I want to see as much of the world as I can. To meet all kinds of people. To learn. Experience. Plus I love food and wine! So it's always good to eat, drink, eat some more, but of course this is best shared with different kinds of people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always up for an adventure. For better or worse I don't always know! :) I have no problems traveling alone, but I love meeting new people as well.
I love music, to dance, to be in the middle of nature, and of course, I love love love to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm brand new--a rookie!!! But I've joined because for me, what makes a travel experience a rich one, are the people. And to meet with the locals. I've had beautiful travel experiences, and it's because I meet the locals. The people from the area, and who proudly show me parts of their country. I try and avoid the "touristy" stuff as much as possible. So if you have the time to show me your country, I would be so grateful :)
