I'm originally from Seattle but have been working in Madrid for the past year on a research project on bilingualism in babies. I love to travel (obviously), eat, and have a strange affinity for crafts. I'm pretty mellow and sometimes very sarcastic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently learned about couch surfing from a friend and thought it sounded amazing. Obviously it's nice in terms of saving money but also the chance to see a new city from a local perspective sounds like a great experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach guitar, languages, and how to make a friendship bracelet (or any other crafts!), or how to clean someone's teeth (I was a dental assistant).
I want to learn about new languages and pretty much anything else
I can share my cheerful disposition!
