I'm a 23 year old Auxiliar de Conversacion (English Teaching Assistant) living in the city of Jerez de la Frontera located in the south of Spain. I recently received a degree in political science, history, and Spanish from university in the United States (Bates College). I consider myself an outgoing and fun-loving individual & seek to surround myself with similar people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to travel and learn authentically. I prefer to meet locals & hear their stories while discovering a new place rather than seclude myself to sterile hotel rooms and polished tours.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music will forever be one of my favorite pastimes in life & I enjoy a wide, wide variety of it. Genres anywhere from pop to American country to reggaeton to alternative rock and more.

Reading has found a niche in my life as of lately and would love recommendations. I typically enjoy more thought-provoking reads, but I'll never turn down a great novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the age of 16, I worked alongside biologists on the small, Caribbean island of Dominica. While helping assisting in field work and consolidating data, I received my PADI open water scuba certification.
