About Me

Hello! I recently graduated from university and am currently taking a year off before going to nursing school. I studied philosophy, theology, and literature in a classics program and am now excited to start a new path. I currently live with my mother (who is not comfortable hosting so for the time being I am unable to host) and work in a small bakery where I eat sweets and drink coffee all day. It's a great life. To make everything even better my boyfriend and I are about to embark on a bike tour around Spain in October. I've been to Spain once before when I walked the Camino de Santiago and I fell in love with the country. I am thrilled to be going back!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People are interesting to me. I love to watch and learn how people live their lives and how they go about their day. I don't think you can really get a sense of a place without getting a sense of its people.

I love to read, knit, bake, rock climbing, sing folk songs with my family, hike, bike, and talk with my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking in the Colorado wilderness, one of the most beautiful places in the world that I am fortunate enough to call home.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes! I love to learn more about people so please tell me about yourself! I am not sure what I can teach besides English and knitting but I am happy to do either of those :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If anyone is interested I love to sing old folk songs that my grandparents taught me. Other than that I can always try my hand at cooking but the only thing I'm really good at is making pie.
