Hi folks!

I am a lifelong student from the fine state of West Virginia. After completing degrees in California and Colorado, I will move to Pennsylvania in August 2018 to start my Ph.D. However, I currently am traveling throughout the beautiful country of Spain para practicar mi español!

En solo tres días, he empezado a sentir inquieto sobre pagando tanto dinero para quedarme en los hosteles. Por eso, me he afiliado en Couchsurfing para encontrar experiencias muy ricas para quedarme y intercambiar las culturas.

I am clean, accountable, and respectful. I am happy to do some work around the house (or help you with English) in exchange for a couch and a quick shower! :)

Tentative plan is Barcelona, Valencia/Alicante, Andalucía, Madrid, northern Spain, pero mis planes son muy flexibles!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Para guardar mi dinero, conocer gente muy amable y genial, y intercambiar nuestras culturas

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once got to hold a baby blue penguin in New Zealand as part of a conservation project! Pretty rad experience :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, general passion for exercise and leading a healthy lifestyle
Ideas about biology, anatomy, physiology, etc. I have a M.S. (and eventually plan to earn a Ph.D) in human anatomy.
I can share lots about the English language, and in return, I hope to learn lots about Spanish!
