ABOUT ME

My name is Amy Contant, I am 20 years old and currently living in Oviedo, Spain. I am from Springfield, MA USA, but study at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. I study Speech Language Pathology and Spanish. I hope to one day become a Bilingual Speech Pathologist.

I envy people who are able to speak one than more language, and it is my personal goal to try and learn as many languages as possible during my life. I love being exposed to different languages which is why I love traveling so much. I really hope to see lots of the world and meet many new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust
and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive
to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself
in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall
never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to Couch Surfing and am sorry to say that at this moment I can not host anyone in my home, but I hope to sooner than later. For now I am going to try and see some new places, meet some new friends, and bring some good stories about the places I've been and the experiences I've had.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked up the highest mountain in Maine, Mt. Katahdin. 5,268 feet (1,606 m), it took over 11 hours to hike up and down, an exhausting trip, but the view was absolutely stunning.
