CURRENT MISSION

Travel as a teacher and learn Spanish

ABOUT ME

I'm an Australian currently living and working in Mexico, learning Spanish and pursuing every experience that comes my way. I'm friendly, positive, intelligent, and adventurous.
Soy una maestra de ingles en Tuxtla Gutierrez, quiero ver México y aprender español. Soy amable, positiva, intelligente, y aventurera.

I came to Mexico after living in San Francisco for 6 months and expect to live here for the next 2 or 3 years or so. I like English teaching as it gives me the opportunity to travel and experience new cultures almost anywhere in the world. When I travel I like to stay in one place for a while and take the time to get to the know the place and the people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I can't host because I don't have any space but I move around a lot so probably in the future I will have a space I can share. I am hoping to be an amiable and enjoyable guest. :)

Interests

Of course I love to travel. I've been practicing yoga for about 8 months, I've loved to read for as long as I can remember. I enjoy cooking and like to cook for friends. I love being outdoors, especially when it involves swimming at the beach but I also go hiking whenever I get the chance.

Since moving to Tuxtla I've taken up salsa dancing. I'm very interested in the history of Mexico and want to see as many historical sites as I can while I'm here.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Haruki Murakami, Kipling, Steinbeck, Catch 22, DH Lawrence, the Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. I haven't been reading much this year as travelling stops me from buying books, but I love to read and have read a lot. I hate Kerouac, but if you like On The Road I will enjoy arguing with you about it. I usually give away my books when I'm finished with them.

Music: Ben Harper, Darren Hanlon, Sufjan Stevens, The Lumineers, Al Green, Etta James, Marvin Gaye, The Killers, Jack Johnson, Angel Haze, Tune Yards, Norah Jones, Lorde, Kimbra, James Taylor, The Heavy, The Cat Empire, Ben Folds...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In San Francisco I went to the Fullsome Street Festival. For one day a year they close down a main street and it turns into a sex fetish celebration. There are no inhibitions. It was pretty mind boggling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share what I know about yoga and cooking, and I can help anyone who wants to practice their English.
