CURRENT MISSION

To explore and travel. To learn and grow. To meet and connect with lovely people with an open heart.

ABOUT ME

Living in Castilla y León, España as a bilingual language assistant. Working to find a more permanent position in a bilingual role here in Spain.

For years I have taught and performed dance, traveling to educate and always continue my own education!

Yogi, art and literature, animal lover and artist (mainly ink work). HUGE FAN of old Hollywood cinema!

I also love outdoor activities! Hiking, snowboarding, rock climbing, swimming, etc...

PHILOSOPHY

~Good Vibes Only~

Do your best with what you have, never stop trying to be better. Stay humble, don't tread upon others as you go along your own way. Be your own person and spread as much love and positive energy as you can!

"The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity...these are the choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To expand consciousness by connecting with people--travelling is the crumbling away of untruths, in order to grow and discover the world we live in.
You can't do this sitting in a fancy hotel room alone...

Music, Movies, and Books

British history (movies and books) and many others
My music tastes are all over the map!

Teach, Learn, Share

For many years I've been a dance instructor, teaching Latin dancing (salsa, bachata, merengue, cha cha).

I also speak Spanish (fairly well) and often tutor in conversational English!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture from the US as well as conversational English practice, if that is your interest!
The more I travel the more I feel the desire to help people understand that just because you are from a certain country doesn't mean you are a certain way--there are beautiful and open-minded people everywhere!
