ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm Abby, a 24 year-old American currently living and working as an English language assistant in Madrid, Spain. This is my fourth time back in Spain and I am excited to keep exploring and learning about this amazing country.

PHILOSOPHY

The joy is in the journey, not in the getting there. Whether I have a destination (physical or personal) in mind or not, it always seems that the most interesting, memorable and unexpected lessons in life happen along the journey.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, my current living situation doesn't have space for visitors, but I'm always down for meeting new people. If you are traveling to or currently in Madrid/Spain, I'd love to meet up and hear about your experiences while exploring this amazing city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie to the Couchsurfing game, but I've heard nothing but great things about it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The Camino de Santiago! Last summer, I walked the Camino Frances across the north of Spain from Roncesvalles to Finisterre. We walked for 35 days and covered about 900 kilometers. It was the adventure of a lifetime. If you are interested in doing this pilgrimage or learning more about my experience...message me! I'd love to share.

教，学，和分享

I am able to teach others about the English language and one person's perspective on what it is like to grow up culturally American. I would love to learn about other people's experiences traveling and any lessons they might have learned along the way. I also love history and am interested in learning more about modern Spanish history.
