Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no experience with couch surfing.  Although I have a lot of traveling experience, it has usually been with my family, through school or with other programs so I'm looking forward to trying something new and meeting new people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This past summer I lived in San Rámon, Nicaragua and taught baking classes, english and held story hour/arts and crafts for younger children.  Even though I'm not the best baker it was a really amazing experience to be able to work with a lot of different women and live in such a different culture from my own.  Going back to visit my host family and travel to other places in Nicaragua is definitely in my plans for this coming summer.
