I am a high school Spanish teacher which keeps me very busy most of the year but leaves summers wide open to do my favorite thing: travel and meet new people! I enjoy reading, outdoor activities, cooking and writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to connect with locals abroad to get a better understanding of each country and culture I visit.
