Hi! I'm Soquel (pronounced So-kel, not to be confused with the abbreviation of Southern California). I am a Culture and Language Assistant here in Ibiza, and when I'm not teaching, I like to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I would like to meet some cool people who know the areas where I am going, and because I am traveling on a budget. I would love to hear stories and get to know my hosts, as well as use their recommendations to wander around on my own.

Interests

I love photography, and exploring/getting lost in new cities. I love reading books, cooking, dancing, drinking coffee, shopping, writing poetry, and knitting. I also am a total history buff, so if there are any interesting facts, sights to see that are particularly historical, I'm in!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Besides my forty-page long undergraduate thesis, moving abroad after graduating from college has probably been the most amazing thing I've done thus far. I've also started my own personal blog, and have been trying to write more poetry.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a meal with hosts. I love to cook and enjoy good conversation. If you want to practice Spanish or English, I can teach you what I've learned from being a native speaker and a learner.
