Well, I am a very friendly person and I love to laugh. Also, I love to talk, I just love being around people in general (I studied psychology, so be aware I may or may not be able to read your mind...haha). I am also becoming more and more into animals, I had some bad experiences as a kid but I'm slowly falling in love with all animals, so I hope to get a pet once I settle down a bit.

Work-wise, I have spent the past few years in the education sector and currently work at an intercultural exchange organization! I'm trying to improve my Spanish and am always trying to experience different people, places, and ideas. I believe that lifelong learning is essential. So I'm always down to learn something new :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love all the people I’ve met through couchsurfing so far, it’s amazing to find like-minded people who care about learning languages, making friends with a huge variety of people, and living sustainably! If you are in Philly and want to meet up, I would love that! Unfortunately I can't host at the moment due to my living conditions, but in the future I'm excited to do that as well :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book growing up was Enna Burning. Nowadays, I really love reading books about different cultures and using reading as a tool to feed my love of learning about the world! I subscribe to book of the month, which is a really fun subscription that I highly recommend if you like discovering new books to read. Music-wise I like a variety of stuff! I like pop, R&B, country, and listening to music in other languages is fun too. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to talking about music, but I really enjoy listening to it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote a book and published it which was cool ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a great person to practice English with since I laugh often and am very patient! I also have a TEFL certificate (teaching English as a foreign language) and 3 years' experience teaching English in a variety of contexts. I have an intermediate level of Spanish and would love to practice these languages together, whatever level you’re at!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love children so if it so happens that you have kids, I can play with them and give you a bit of a rest! And I can also help with any housework or as I said before to practice English! If none of this is your cup of tea, I can always bring some chocolate or snack to enjoy together :)
