I'm an English teacher in Madrid. I'm from Washington state in the beautiful Pacific Northwest corner of the United States. This is the fourth year I've lived in Madrid. I guess you could say I'm a typical twenty-something, in that I spend a lot of time on my phone and I take a lot of photos. I love to be social (not really into clubbing), but I'm really starting to appreciate the value of time spent alone. I'm pretty independent, but I generally love company. I love telling stories, and I do stand-up comedy. I co-produce a weekly show in English here in Madrid. Not every twenty-something can say that :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to get to know a place is to get to know the people who live there.

I'd love to meet up and show you around Madrid.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch a lot of tv or movies, but if it can make me laugh, I'm interested. I love anything Tina Fey touches.

Books: Harry Potter, of course. I love mysteries.

Music: Trashy pop is my guilty pleasure, but I listen to a lot of different kinds of music. I'll probably like what you're into.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I accidentally made the front page of Reddit

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know how much I can teach you, but I'm a native speaker of English, and I'd be happy to practice with you.

I've got a ton of silly and embarrassing stories about my travels and speaking Spanish, if that's a thing you like.

Also I can cook for you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to make people laugh! I do stand-up comedy.

I also love cooking and trying new food, so I'd be happy to cook for you one night or treat you to a meal.
