I`m a primary school teacher with a love of travelling, animals, and the occasional McDonald´s binge. I`m a brown belt in tae kwon do and a licensed scuba diver. I could practically live in the water, so I´m hoping to put that license to more use in the future! Recently I´ve become a proud (ok, reluctant) wearer of spiffy new glasses and am pleased to say that I´m ready to take on the rest of the world in HD.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people and swap languages, plus maybe a few terrible jokes :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dedicated myself to the cultivation of bonsais for one year, then gifted them all to others. Fed kangaroos and slept in the middle of the desert in Australia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Spanish and English and a bit of French and German. I´m getting a second degree in translation and interpretation, so I´m happy to help with anything related. I teach kids English phonics, and I also enjoy helping people with their Spanish pronunciation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you delicious Spanish foods (tortilla de patata, anyone?) and translate!
