Overview
About Me
I am a person who is incredibly passionate about music, and it is my first way of connecting to other cultures. I love singing, jamming and going to concerts.
In addition to music, I also love language. I have been learning Spanish for several years and am captivated by the process of becoming immersed into another language. I am also TEFL certified and taught English for UNETE Immigrant Advocacy Program and was a private tutor in Italy.
I am excited to spend much more time in Spain. I am interested in cooking, exploring, language exchange, dancing and seeing live music. Can't wait to connect ~
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I first heard of Couchsurfing last year when I went to a Meet-up event in Dublin. It was fantastic! Every person I met was so rad, and I ended up spending quite a bit of time hanging out with people I met there.
Just from that one experience, I can tell that that Couchsurfing provides an incredibly inclusive, friendly and laid-back environment.
I am so excited to meet other unique individuals through this vast community. I think it is very valuable to become immersed in the local culture of a new place for so many different reasons. I think it is enriching to the space, the city that belongs to the locals and the people in it!

I love all music, but some of my favorite artists are Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday, Hiatus Kaiyote, Crumb, Fleet Foxes and Beirut
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Got over my fear of singing on stages and embraced more my artistic expression and the need for it to exist.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to learn your story, and your perspective on the world. I love sharing conversation and listening.
One of my favorite things to do is stay up till sunrise drinking wine and having conversations about anything, like philosophy, books, music, the state of the world, whatever topic comes up in the moment.
I want to become immersed in Spanish, and practice it all the time.
I would love to teach you songs (if you like to sing that is!)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I would love to help cook meals, show you lots of music, teach slang from my country and share laughter!
