CURRENT MISSION

Travel, live, have fun, give back, dance in different cities, laugh as much as possible, make great lasting friendships

ABOUT ME

I am an 20 year old student who is studying to be an English teacher so that I can live in one country for a while and meet wonderful people while trying new things.

I love the outdoors. My university is in the mountains so I love to hike, ski and snowboard.

I play soccer (futbol) , tennis, basketball and I enjoy to run.

I love history and geography. I read many books about different groups of people and I am always looking for suggestions :)

I love to dance, go to bars and party.

I love live music. I love street performers, concerts in bars and larger concerts.

I love little villages.

I save my money for travel so I buy all of my clothes from thrift stores and am always finding beautiful things.

I love learning languages.

I went to Spain last summer and fell in love with Espana! I was an au pair in Pamplona and it was an amazing experience.

I will be leaving for Spain once again in December of 2012. I will hopefully explore Barcelona and Rome for a few weeks. But I would like to travel everywhere!

I will go to Sevilla in the middle of January to study at the Universidad Pablo de Olavide. Hopefully I will teach english classes to earn some extra money :)

I am a future nomad :)

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy!

collect memories, not things.

Even if I had all of the money in the world I would still travel how I do now. Living with a family and babysitting their children was an amazing experience and I really fell in love with the culture of Spain and the people.

smiles are universal.

"Over a bottle of wine, many a friend is found." - Yiddish proverb

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the time I cannot host anyone because I live with my parents but in the future I would love to host nice people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a good friend Johanna through couchsuring. She showed me around Pamplona and I met her friends. She also introduced me to a girl from France and we all became France. Hopefully we will be able to travel once I am back in Spain. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

people who have lived in different places than I have. People around the world have different traditions and celebrations but by sharing experiences you begin to understand each other better.

Learning and having fun with people from other countries and cultures is the only way to create a peaceful world.
