I'm a primary school teacher from California now living in Spain. I'm originally from Los Angeles, but I lived north of San Francisco for a time before moving to Madrid. I tend to look for the positive side of everything, because life is too short to be negative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love new experiences, especially when it comes to people and cultures, and I think that cultural exchange is the most enriching thing a person can do. I also love to get to know places like only a local would!

Interests

I love to find places that are off the tourist map; cool hiking spots, low-key bars, out of the way monuments, things like that.

• writing
• cultural exchange
• natureza
• hidden spots
• local gems

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music except country, metal, and dubstep (and even to those there are exceptions).

Movies and books are hard because I love so many of them. I'm currently reading the Game of Thrones series, and it is oh so good. I will say I love anything post-apocalyptic/dystopian future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught primary school for two years and survived!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a positive attitude and charisma, complete honesty (you can ask me pretty much anything), my undying gratitude, and my cleaning/cooking services. :D
