Hello! My name is Jackie. At the beginning of this year, I quit the corporate lifestyle in Washington, DC and moved to Madrid, Spain to teach English and travel as much as possible. Since my move, I have been to seven cities in Spain and six new countries. I love exploring new places, trying the typical food and drink of the area I am visiting, and meeting new people from around the world. I also love photography, cycling, hiking, dancing, reading, and binge watching Netflix. I am interested in meeting locals and travelers in Madrid and the other cities I visit. Looking forward to meeting you soon :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music. Some of my favorite singers and bands include Sia, Mumford & Sons, Chainsmokers, and Alvaro Soler (to learn Spanish!). Some of my favorite movies include Hitch, I am Legend (huge Will Smith fan), Moulin Rouge, and A Knight's Tale. My favorite book is The Alchemist.
