CURRENT MISSION

...a kind of nervous restlessness which haunted me as a fiend...

ABOUT ME

I don't exist before noon :0... Most recently I wrote for a newspaper in North Dakota and then spent last summer traveling in Europe. Right now, I am working at a bilingual high school in Spain as a language assistant in Math, English and Computer drawing classes. Me encanta, me encanta...

I can be a little shy until I get to know people, but I enjoy making new connections and learning about different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people a couple of times, and would like to meet anyone passing through my town... whether you need a place to stay or just want to meet for a coffee.

Intereses

I like to read, write, travel, play tennis, go to art shows and galleries, try new wines, learn about Spanish food and culture, learn adorable British phrases like 'bits and bobs' or 'do a wee' and drink vodka gimlets :0....

I really enjoy hearing people's stories and their psychological struggles... so I like to read stories or find songs that are interesting in that way.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Taking a lift to the top of the island of Capri and spending the night there was up there on my list, also I really enjoyed drifting around on ferries and trains for a couple months in Europe two summers ago. I would live this way all the time if I had enough money!
