*** Traveling/hosting guests until mid-January *** Hello! I'm an American journalist by trade who's currently teaching English in Santander, Spain. Last year I lived and taught in Istanbul, Turkey, which I could talk about for ages. I love good food, cooking, traveling and learning about other cultures. I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana, a city near and dear to my heart. Southern hospitality is something you just can't shake, no matter how far away you are from the home land.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm new to couch surfing, but I'm here to make travel buddies and discover new places from the eyes of a local. I also have some space in my flat to host others, so I definitely believe in paying it forward.
