Currently: American living abroad in the UK.

I am a postgraduate student doing an MA in Teaching English as a Second Langage/Information, Communication, and Technology at the University of Leeds in the UK.

I am a born and raised Californian girl. Grew up in Northern California then went to school and worked in Southern California for 7 years. I did my undergrad in International Studies at University of California, San Diego. I worked in Los Angeles for 3 years and made Santa Monica my home! Now I am studying in the UK and my goal is to explore a ton of places in Europe while I am here.

I am a huge fan of culture and exploring different countries by meeting people, asking about their views on culture, eating tons of different food, exploring natural sceneries, and occasionally some drinking, dancing and a bit of fun.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

To get local flavor while I am visiting a place. I am not a rigid planner when I travel and I enjoy it the most when people give me personal recommendations or tips on where to go. I want to know about your country, your city from you and I am always happy to chat about myself and my experiences as an American.

Interessi

Top 5 things I like to do:

1) See live music - Anything from a small street performance to a huge music festival, the best music is when it is right in front of you.

2) Nature hikes/walks - Let's enjoy the beauty of mother nature.

3) Eating - I like good food and I am not particularly picky.

4) Meeting new people - I am a good listener and a pretty good talker.

5) Having fun - drinking, dancing, karaoke, whatever you deem as a fun I will be along for the ride

Solange - "A Seat At the Table"
