ABOUT ME

I am a North American Cultural Ambassador in Spain for 2011-2012. I will basically be an assistant English teacher, and I will be living in Cantabria. I am an easy going person, who loves traveling and meeting new people. I like to get out, have fun, and party, but I also enjoy spending quiet time to myself, preferably on a beach or a farm.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to get the most out of life as possible. I love planning ahead, but I am also always in search of an adrenaline rush.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet new people in Cantabria, and also find places to stay throughout Spain and Europe (Ireland, England, Switzerland, France, and Italy) when I have time to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met someone from CouchSurfing, just to hang out and have fun in the city. He became one of my friends, and I enjoyed hanging out with him and his friends. I still chat with him and one of his best friends on occasion.
