CURRENT MISSION

To see and experience as much as possible (conocer el mundo) and try never to have regrets

ABOUT ME

I'm currently working on a Ph.D. in International Education at NYU in New York City. Prior to returning to the states, I lived and worked abroad as an English teacher in Madrid, Spain and Santiago, Chile, which both hold great memories for me. And before that, I was a high school English teacher in the states. Basically, I love education (feeling like I'm making some sort of difference) and discovering more about the world - hence the international education. During vacations and down times from school, I'd like to keep exploring, especially Spanish-speaking countries. I've still never been to Central America! Needless to say, there's a lot to see.

PHILOSOPHY

Dismiss what insults your soul (can't take credit for that one...it's Walt Whitman).

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really just joined...but have heard great things, so I'm excited to get started. I hope to have some good intercambios with fellow surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I said, I'm new to couchsurfing specifically, but I have slept on my fair share of friends' couches (if that counts!) I guess my most lengthy couchsurfing-esque experience would be my yearlong homestay with my Chilean family (mi mamá y hermanita Chilena) while living in Santiago.
