About Me

Writer, dancer, singer, blogger, teacher, student...Barefoot bohemian trying to travel the world--pen in hand.

I moved to Spain last year to begin working as an English teacher. It was supposed to last a year. But here we are, again. Let's see how we can keep this up...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting people from different places. But I am also a teacher, so that means that my budget is more than a little tight.

Couchsurfing seems like the best of both worlds: meeting people and saving money!
