About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and all it has to offer

ABOUT ME

Sports have been my whole life until I graduated college at Washington State. After you graduate it is expected you find a job and settle down...well thats not me, so, naturally I moved to SPAIN!i am now teaching English here, living life to its fullest. I will not leave Europe until I have seen it all...I could be here a while, or until my visa expires...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in taking chances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience couchsurfing was a amazing and ever since I have wanted to continue.... since then I have also had the opportunity to live on a boat for a week with a group of couchsurfers. We traveled all around the Mediterranean sea last summer. I also move around a lot so I have been lucky enough to meet quite a few amazing people from all over the world.

Interests
