Hi! I'm a 26-year-old American currently living in Madrid, Spain and am new to couchsurfing. During the week I work as an English teacher in a secondary school, but on the weekend I pass the time exploring the city of Madrid or traveling through Europe. Since moving to Madrid, I have picked up salsa dancing and dance multiple times per week. Also, I am a marathon runner and love hiking, exercising, and being outdoors!

Be decent to people and they'll be decent to you :)

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new people, but I come to see how sometimes traveling can be a bit expensive, depending on the city. Also, I'd love to meet up with locals and learn about their culture, while also find the hidden gems of a city. I feel like the true nature of a city is revealed through those who live there, so I would love to share that experience with someone (even if only for a few days).

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I rode a camel into the Sahara Desert at sunset and spent the night at a campsite. Then, I "snow" boarded down a sand dune at sunrise.

Have run 5 marathons (3 in Spain and 2 in the US)

Chaperoned 70 teenagers along the final 114 kilometers of the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain... TWICE
