I'm an American girl working currently as an English assistant in Spain- using this time to travel as much as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Airbnbs and hostels have their benefits, but Couchsurfing offers a lot more than just accomodation. It's a great opportunity to meet locals and learn about their way of life, and become a member of a unique global community.
And of course, it's a good option for those of us who are working on a... less than ideal budget. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tough question... eight year old me decided that she wanted to sing the national anthem on the school's loudspeakers system, and convinced her parents/the school administration to make it happen. No clue why I wanted to do this (zero musical talent, my parents were actively discouraging it) and definitely wouldn't classify it as amazing, but I respect the confidence and zero f*cks given attitude that my younger self had.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My friends can confirm that I make some excellent baked goods - brownies and blondies specifically. If desserts aren't your thing, we'll find something else I can contribute! I could also help with a Spanish or English language exchange :)
