I'm an English teacher based in Madrid, Spain for a second year and loving it! I have lived in California for most of my life, and eventually want to return to the states to pursue a master's degree in Speech and Language Pathology.

I'm pretty easygoing and laidback, and while I can be shy at times, I'm very open to meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like traveling on the "unbeaten path" and I feel like couchsurfing is one of the ways to do that because it exposes us to the people who are actually a part of the country's culture. I also just want to meet some cool people all over the world. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making the move to live and teach in a different country - and Europe at that! I always thought this would be a distant dream that I would never pursue because home was so familiar and comforting, but I'm so happy I broke out of my shell and created this happiness for myself. It's changed me in more ways than one.
