CURRENT MISSION

live like a gypsy, changing cities every 6 months.

ABOUT ME

Born in Los Angeles, college in San Francisco, now I've moved to Madrid to teach english. Sometimes I'm very quiet, sometimes not so much, but always very genuine (if I do say so myself, and I do).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to help people out, because I've been helped out a hell of a lot.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a lot, hosted a few times, and it has been so awesome, there is no better way to become familiar with a place than having people who love it show you around.

Interests

I, like most people, love art. I love to paint and draw because I don't have enough discipline to be a writer (but I write anyway). I used to work in an art studio as the dark room technician, now I teach tiny Spanish people English with a California accent. I also love studying languages, speak French decently and Spanish is coming along. I have a crazy sweet tooth and like my wine dark and my beer light. I'll take my coffee any way I can get it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rock and roll, nick cave, patti smith, pj harvey, Bjork, DAF, dark wave, post punk, and most things that sound like a funeral dirge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach you english and french and terrible spanish, color theory, how to properly date and categorize women's vintage dresses, or how to make a mojito, and you can teach me whatever you want.
