Sobre mí

CURRENT MISSION

To have boldly visited more countries than years I've been alive

ABOUT ME

I am a professor of French at UW Seattle. I focus on sociolinguistics and second language acquisition. I am interested in how identity markers affect the learning of a second language. I am also a visual artist in my spare time (www.mayasmith.com).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to show anyone around the Seattle or wherever I am. I think this is a great project and I would love to meet new people and support it in any way I can!

Intereses

I´m interested in just about everything! I especially like art, music, sports, hiking, camping, and above all TRAVELING. But I think that last one is obvious.

  • arts
  • beer
  • traveling
  • music
  • hiking
  • camping
  • sports
  • teaching
  • emergency services

Música, películas y libros

Nina Simone, anything by Isabel Allende, almost all motown, anything Brazilian. I dance ALOT and love anything with good African drumming. Stevie Wonder, Life of Pi, Kite Runner, Tale of Two Cities, Beloved. These were just the things that came to mind in that order.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

you should always learn the words for thank you, hello, good bye, how are you, where is the bathroom, 2 beers please in whatever language is spoken in the country. you will make many more friends that way!
