About Me

"I think I'm quite ready for another adventure."
-Bilbo Baggins

It's simple: I'm a girl who loves having adventures. I've studied abroad in Spain, traveled around Europe and Australia and been to Cuba and Mexico. Currently I am volunteering in Chile and teaching English.

Even though I have a degree in Spanish education, one day I would like to be an English as a second language (ESL) teacher. I believe it will be another way for me to strengthen my perspective of the world and to continue to learn.

Besides traveling, my passions include Jesus, long conversations with friends (preferably over coffee), and being out and about in nature witnessing beautiful, breathtaking views.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people from all over the world and learning about different cultures. I believe Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to be able to do both of these at the same time. I love experiencing new things, trying new foods, and keeping and open mind.

Music, Movies, and Books

Two of my favorite authors are C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. I grew up getting lost in the adventures of Narnia and Middle Earth and both series impacted my life in a huge way.

Sadly, I am less knowledgeable on music and movies. I do have an open mind, though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've rode a camel through the Sahara desert before. That was a magnificent, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
