I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, and am now teaching English in Madrid, Spain. I have a passion for music, film, food, the outdoors, and making strong connections with people if personalities allow for it. My focus recently has been teaching, traveling, and above all, learning Spanish, as the thought of being bilingual has always been a dream of mine. I'm always down for a good conversation concerning history, language, culture, psychology, astrology...anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing interests me more than meeting new people from different cultures, and I don't think there's a better way to do it than this. I want to share where I come from and hear about the lives and stories of others, get tips of where to go in the cities I travel to (but better if you come with), and make new friends.

Interests

Playing/listening to music, making short films/music videos, cooking and getting creative in the kitchen, learning anything and everything that I see as valuable to my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

As an English teacher I'd be happy to help out those in the process of learning English in any way I can. If you're a Spanish speaker, even better; we could switch between languages, ask questions, and improve.

What I Can Share with Hosts

COOKING! I'd love to cook with or for you and learn new recipes and styles of cooking from your country. oh and beer!
