An American abroad (make of that what you will...)!

"To constuct peace, to make love, to reconcile
Waking with sleeping, ourselves with each other,
Ourselves with ourselves. We would try by any means
To reach the limits if ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,
To let go the means, to wake."
Muriel Rukeyser

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My home-base right now is in Granada, Spain, but I am trying to see as much of Europe as I can this semester! You can't claim to have know a city or country if you haven't met its people, which is why couchsurfing is perfect for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Late night conversations are gems. I am an open book.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not a debutant traveller here, couches and floors are my good friends.
Ask me anything! If you are interested on my personal or an American perspective on, politics, I am happy to share! Although I PROMISE to keep it to myself if you don't solicit.
If you are interested in an intermediate spanish lesson or rudimentary arabic lesson, I got your back.
I think if myself as a good conversationalist and value talking about life's most precious gifts.
