About Me

Grad student in Spanish Literature! I'm a homebody but love great conversation and quality time with new people. I love musicals, singing, tea, and crafting. I believe we all have our baggage and it's learning how to carry it that makes you who you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet likeminded people, explore together, make friends from across the globe.

Interests

As a grad student I have a hard time separating academic interests from personal interests! Here's my attempt to answer the Q: I'm interested in disability studies, gender and women's studies, modern literature.

  • literature
  • singing
  • cooking
  • chocolate
  • wine
  • spanish
  • crafting
  • musical theatre

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz is like a massage for my soul! I love the before sunrise series, mark duplass films, and the occasional well-done rom com. I don't really have time / energy to read for pleasure as a grad student! Last fave book I read for fun was the night circus.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was a voice major as an undergrad...gave a solo voice recital where I sang ten songs in front of family, friends, and strangers...I still can´t believe I did it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Puedo enseñar inglés, or Spanish or singing...I would like to learn how to speak Catalán, French, Italian, the list goes on!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A listening ear! A comfy spot to have tea.
