My name is Bridget! I grew up on the central coast of California, and am currently traveling around Central America with my friend, Wini. My hobbies include trail running, hiking, writing and the occasional beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite parts about travel is getting to hang out with the people who live there. I feel you cannot really know a place unless you know it's people. Couchsurfing seems like a great place to do just that!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie- Gladiator

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion for learning language, and am hoping to improve my Spanish/Italian skills through travel. I've spent many years in the study of both languages, but I know that the best way to improve is through conversation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

English practice, knowledge on California/the rest of the Western USA, gardening (I'm from a farming family), cooking, cleaning, pet care (grew up around all kinds of animals)... whatever you need help with!
