Hello! I am an avid traveler and former Peace Corps Volunteer currently living in Madrid, Spain, (originally from the United States), on hiatus from my previous career. :) I love meeting new people, exploring, laughing over some good beer, petting people's dogs, checking out live music, hiking and magical city centers.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am seeking affordable ways to travel and see new places during my free time and before I being my graduate studies in the fall. I would love to find places to stay or people to meet up with, who are interesting, friendly and who are similarly passionate about learning and exploring cultures and the world.

教，学，和分享

I'm passionate about social/racial justice and have worked in public health in various settings abroad. I can teach you words in Spanish, swear words in Urdu, and how to build the perfect pizza. I love to cook, so would love to learn how to make a new dish. I'd similarly love to learn something in a new language and get some film, book or music suggestions from you!
