After spending two years living and working in Spain and then a year back in California, I'm currently living in Orlando. FL. I'm passionate about traveling (duh), learning, and I strive to live in the moment. I love making people laugh and connecting with those around me in new and interesting ways. Anything I write here sounds cheesy so I'll leave it at that and try to do better on the rest of my profile. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and see a small part of the world from their perspective. To make friends, learn from others, dive into unexpected experiences, and of course to have fun. I couchsurfed through much of Argentina and Chile awhile back and had some of the most amazing experiences of my life. The kindness and just plain goodness of people constantly surprises and inspires me, and I try to take something positive away from every person I meet. I'm excited to see what the future holds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering at an animal sanctuary in a small beach town in Ecuador.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can typically only host on the weekends as I work during the week. I have a fair amount of funny stories that just naturally end up coming out and I can make a pretty mean BBQ. I'm still trying to perfect my Spanish and would love to practice. I’ve also worked as an English teacher and am happy to practice and teach. I make for a great camping or hiking companion. Outdoorsy things are my jam. I like strategy and creative problem solving. I also have a dog that loves meeting new people as well.
