ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing and funny person (or at least I like to think I am...). I am almost always happy and try to help others be the same. I am usually able to laugh at myself in some very embarrassing situations. I like to read, study, watch movies, hang out with friends and live life to its fullest. I love to travel, see new places, and meet new people!

PHILOSOPHY

Pay it forward!

Interests

Learning Spanish and Portuguese, languages, music, dancing (swing dancing, blues dancing, dancing in general), reading, experiencing other cultures through food (aka eating), having a good time--whether it is at a club or just having a chill night with a bottle of wine and some friends. I am up for just about anything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently went to Bilbao with a friend and we took the metro to Plentzia to have a picnic on the beach. We decided to walk around a bit and we happened upon a small path going up the side of a hill. We followed it and it turned out to be a glorious hike on the nearby cliffs with breathtaking views of Plentzia and the ocean!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and some of the basics of Spanish/Portuguese.

I would love to learn how to cook regional foods from all the places I have traveled/will travel to! I can cook (somewhat) but it is mostly limited to pasta and cake/cookies. I also LOVE learning languages! I really want to learn German, Farsi or Arabic next.
