I'm an adventurous spirit looking to travel South America and perfect my Spanish speaking abilities. I graduated University in Colorado, USA in 2016 and decided to take a year to travel before jumping into a career that I wasn't sure I would enjoy. I love meeting new people and I cherish human connections. I am a huge fan of nature, hiking, and anything outdoors.

Yo tengo un espíritu aventurero y quiero mejorar mi español mientras viajo a través de Sudamerica. Me gradué de la Universidad de Denver en Colorado, EEUU en 2016 y decidí tomar un ano de viaje. Me encanta conocer gente nueva y yo aprecio las conexiones humanas. A mi me gusta la naturaleza y excursionismo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My plan was to live in Cuenca, Ecuador for one year teaching English, however as this school year comes to an end, I've decided that I want to spend the rest of my time in South America traveling and seeing all that it has to offer. Couch surfing seems like a financially responsible way to do this, as well as a great opportunity to meet locals and practice my Spanish, which I would label at an intermediate level.

Sin embargo, cuando termina el año escolar, he decidido que yo quiero pasar el resto de mi tiempo en Sudamérica viajando y viendo todo lo que yo puedo. Couch surfing me parece como una forma financieramente responsable de hacer esto, practicar mi español, y conocer gente nueva.
