Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Seeking to see the world, and speak with natives without looking American
ABOUT ME
When I began studying Spanish, I was determined to achieve a native-like accent, so when I would go abroad no one would know that I am American without me explicitly telling them. Because of the stigma that surrounds American culture, many see us as arrogant who show no concern for anything outside the U.S. I want to break this stereotype, and let the natives know that I do care for what happens outside the U.S.
My adventure begins now.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Since I'm very new to CS I haven't participated other than creating a profile. With that said, I am interested in meeting new people overseas and experiencing a foreign culture the way the natives do.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm very new to CS and am eager for new experiences. I can't wait to graduate and finally get to see the world!
Interests
Well, I'm obviously interested in traveling otherwise I wouldn't be here!
I love music; my iPod is my very best friend.
Incredible food is always a treat.
