Hello! I am unable to host guests currently due to my apartment rules, but I would love to meet up with people traveling through Madrid for a drink!

I'm Danique- a 24 year old from Port Orchard, Washington (near Seattle). I graduated from the University of Puget Sound as a chemistry major and I'm currently pursuing a dream of mine-to improve my Spanish by moving to Spain! I've been living in Spain for 1.5 years as a language assistant, and I teach English in a primary school in Madrid. I am looking forward to experiencing couchsurfing, as it is a new opportunity for me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a great way to share travel and cultural experiences with others from all around the world. I'm pretty new to the site, but the two experiences I've had so far have introduced me to some wonderful people, and I want to continue making these connections.

Interests

I love to travel, meet new people from different cultures, read any and every novel I can get my hands on, go running, and create and cook up new recipes.
