About Me

Note: Just updated settings to hopefully receive messages more quickly!

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, laugh, love (corny, but what could be better?)

ABOUT ME

I'm a homebody who fell in love with traveling by accident. I spent the last 2 years living in Galicia, Spain as an English teacher and this year I'm in Bilbao! I love my family and friends, but there's something that keeps pulling me away to see more and more of the world. Traveling long-term can be a sacrifice, but I love that I can wake up each day knowing that I'm living life to the fullest.

PHILOSOPHY

Create your joys and memories today, because we may not have the future... And even if we do, how much better will it be after a lifetime of living every day to the fullest? Every day contributes to our story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll meet up with people for any kind of events! I also have a couch available if anyone ever needs it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined couchsurfing 2 years ago, but it's taken until now to actually participate... I have to thank my friends' good experiences. I hope to meet lots of new people and give back some of the good experiences that so many people have given me in the past!

Interests

Reading... Reading... Reading...

Ok, but really, I like hiking, being a tourist (sometimes), experiencing new things, FOOD, and, above all else, coming home again (wherever that may be)
