CURRENT MISSION

To eat, drink, and laugh my way through Spain in six months

ABOUT ME

Adventurous and naturally curious, I often feel more at home when I am away from my house. I am a teacher who loves to learn and I think everyone we meet has something new to show us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first couchsurfed with a group of friends in 2012 and it quickly became my favorite way to travel. It's not about free lodging; it's about meeting locals who want to show you their favorite parts of their city; it's about spending time with people you've wouldn't have had the chance to meet otherwise. Currently, I am living with my own host family in Spain, so I can't host guests, but I have been lucky enough to be hosted a couple times here and both times it has been an incredible experience that made the trip that much more unique and memorable.

Interests

It seems redundant to list travel, but trips big and small are my favorite activity. I also like to read, to hike, to drink too much coffee, and to talk with old and new friends.
