I'm originally from Long Island, New York, but I love to move around and have new experiences. Since graduating university in 2015 I've spent the past few years teaching English in the south of Spain (Jerez de la Frontera--a place I consider as a second home), completing my CELTA certificate in Granada, working at the Grand Canyon and California, and working a few jobs and living in NYC. Now I'm settled for the year in Sevilla teaching English at a language academy. I'm very passionate about Flamenco, Spanish (and languages in general!--I'm learning French now), singing, nature, camping, and making connections with people..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a really nice and authentic exchange, along with a unique way to meet people! I love the social aspect of it. I also love the idea of getting to know a city through the eyes of a local (or someone who knows the area well) rather than a tour

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Musical improv class! And after the class ended we had to improvize a musical in front of an audience! scary & amazing

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English & Spanish, some types of Flamenco dancing/singing, basic French. I can also share some world music artists who I am really passionate about! I can also teach the basics of improv comedy! and how to ride a bike! I'd love to learn more French.
ALSO I'm considering doing the Camino de Santiago in June, so if you have any tips you can share that would be great! (also let me know if you're interested in joining... :)
