I am an English Teacher currently living and working in Madrid. Prior to this, I was a teacher in Maryland, and lived right outside of Washington DC. I travel as often as I can in order to see and experience as many new cultures as I can. I am an outgoing person who loves meeting new people and trying new things. I love trying new cuisine, and am always up for a glass of wine. I enjoy hiking and running as much as wondering around the city admiring the sights and sounds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, especially those who have first hand experience with the places I want to travel is an amazing opportunity. I have been lucky to make friends from all around the world and I would only hope to expand that network. While I am not able to host guests at this time, I am happy to meet people who travel to Madrid and show them all the amazing things the city has to offer.

Interests

I am always up for new experiences, trying new foods, wines. I love touring cities and learning about the history in the area. I enjoy nearly all types of music and am always looking for new artists to broaden my horizon. I enjoy getting out into the sunshine and hiking, swimming, running, pretty much anything that gets me out.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a TV junkie and watch so many series its hard to keep track, the list currently includes Bloodline, Narcos, Girls, Luther, the entire TGIT lineup, I could go on and on. I also have watched all of and have just finished reading the last available book in "A Song of Ice and Fire"(Game of Thrones.) I am also a very big podcast fan. I listen to quite a few podcasts, ranging from ones that cover the news, to comedic stories. They are perfect for a long metro ride to work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After thinking over this question, I realized I am not sure if I have actually done anything worth calling "AMAZING." I have done quite a few fun, and exciting things, I have done quite a few charitable and kind things, I have done reckless, crazy, wild, wonderful things, but nothing I would call amazing. I hope that as I continue on this adventure, I might be able to do something truly AMAZING.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher by profession, and a learner by passion. It is my utmost desire to never stop learning, I believe the best teachers in the world are the ones who take what they learn on a daily basis and use it to mold and influence their teaching. Through sharing experiences we all help each other learn and grow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an outgoing and fun person who would love to meet and get to know my host, I would love to share my experiences and also be a resource for my host if they travel to Madrid, or Washington DC. Happy to give tips and resources for their time traveling.
