I am a college graduate from the University of Iowa. I have a degree in Spanish and I'm currently working as an English teacher in Spain. I'm traveling around Europe in my free time!

I'm a foodie! I love learning about traditional food in different parts of the world as well as other cultural aspects. I love art and theater; I write and enjoy a good book. I live for the beach and exploration...there's always something waiting to change your perspective!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn from others about where they live. Nobody knows better than the locals :) I would love to see the hidden gems of your city!

Interests

Overall, I enjoy any experience that can change my perspective. I love all there is to take away from travel: gaining cultural awareness, taking in a foreign view, trying new food, meeting new people, and so much more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014, I spent a semester abroad in Spain. It was my first time out of the country and my first real taste of travel. It strengthened my language skills, taught me more about being independent, and it cultured me! Now I'm back in Europe to see more of what it has to offer.
