I am currently taking a gap year before starting at University in Montana. The first semester of my gap year I spent traveling with a group in east Africa and am now I am a live-in au pair for a family in Madrid. I hope to experience authentic culture, improve my Spanish, meet new people and see new places during my time in Spain!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined the Couchsurfing community before leaving for Spain for low budget, authentic weekend excursions during my time here!
