CURRENT MISSION

take over the world one city at a time and never settle for anything less than the extraordinary.

ABOUT ME

My happiest moments are probably spent being engaged in a good conversation with intelligent or well-read individuals, and I truly cherish these kind of connections. The past few years have made me realize the importance of becoming a well-rounded individual, and as I believe part of that is being well-traveled, I am going for broke and doing as much as I can to see a lot of the world and the things I never believed could actually exist as a kid.

I really enjoy cooking, reading, listening to music, and when the time is available, playing music too. I find hysterical situations everywhere I look and usually find it hard to stop laughing.

In terms of the statistical information, I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA and moved to Florida when I was 9. After a lovely childhood in Tampa, Florida (west coast of the state), I spent 5 years at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida, studying Marketing and International Business. After a 4 month study abroad stint in Spain, a few screws popped loose and my dreams of a highly traditional career flew out the window. Now, I´m 23 and running around like a maniac trying to figure my life out, while teaching english at an elementary school in madrid in my free time.

PHILOSOPHY

Todo me parece bonito.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though I am very new to Couchsurfing, I haven´t participated much, but have heard lots about it from friends and am looking forward to connecting with people here and meeting them in Spain and abroad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not necessarily couchsurfing, but I recently went to Bruges, Belgium and stayed with someone I had met in Madrid very briefly. We had an amazing experience, he showed me around the city and some friends and I came over and we all had a wonderful dinner together.
