About Me

I am a very social person. I love meeting people and making them feel welcome. I love being active/ busy. I enjoy almost all sports - some of my favorites to play are volleyball, skiing, tennis and soccer. At the moment I am working as an English teacher overseas (Spain) and I travel whenever I can. I speak fluent Spanish and am a Native English Speaker.

PHILOSOPHY:
Live your life to the fullest. Its not about where you come from or what's your past but what you make of each day. Its the journey, and what you learn that counts!

A positive attitude in life changes lives. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel, see and experience the world. I get a lot of enjoyment out of meeting new people from different places. Share stories, wine, etc.

An important note: References. I love leaving excellent references for people I have met, and if you are a respectful person in general.. you can expect a reference that will say such. But safety is even more important... especially for the single traveling/hosting girl. So please, don't push anything sexual (shouldn't have to say anything.. but I am)

Anyway, I'd love to meet and hang out!

Interests

A good glass of wine with interesting conversation.
