I'm from a small town in the mountains of Vermont (a small state in the north east of the US). I just graduated highschool and am traveling around Europe for a year before going to university in Montana.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

AT THE MOMENT:
This is my first time using CS, but when I heard about it I knew I needed to check it out.
Right now, I just need a place to stay in Bilbao while I find a more permanent place to stay. My plan is to get a job teaching at a language institute and live in Bilbao for a year.
IN GENERAL:
CS is an amazing way to meet people, explore new places, and travel on a budget. There's nothing better than being introduced to a new place by a local.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been whipped by a shaman.
(He wasn't mad. It's a long story, ask me about it in person!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm certified to teach english and would love to learn some spanish (and basque!)
A quick tour around bilbao would be really cool too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Enthusiasm for life, good conversation, a halfway decent (if not twisted) sense of humor, and some pure Vermont maple syrup.
