Hi there! I'm Gabi :) A little bit about me... I’m from California and I’m currently living here until I move to Portland in a couple months for grad school. I’ve lived abroad twice, in Costa Rica for 3 months and in Spain for a year. Hablo español! :) For my next adventure, I’ll be spending 2 weeks in the UK, visiting a friend who I met in Spain. My personality is bubbly, upbeat, and fun-loving!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I originally started using couchsurfing just to meet new people in my area when I showed up in Spain by myself. Then I realized how amazing the couchsurfing community is! I've met so many great people through couchsurfing. Everyone in this community is so welcoming and open-minded. I would love to have the chance to stay with someone in another country, to get to know their culture, and to simply make friends from all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English (I'm an English teacher), and I'm learning Spanish, but also would be interested in learning whatever language you speak :)
