About Me

I am originally from the U.S. but I have lived abroad in Latin America and Asia for five years. My friends and family would describe me as creative, friendly, and a community builder. I am currently living in Spain and learning more about European history and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My twin sister had an incredible experience staying with Couchsurfing hosts while traveling through South American so I thought I would give it a try. I also much prefer staying with locals as it is allows for a more interesting experience and the opportunity for cultural exchanges.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in the mountains of northern Argentina.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to give recommendations for any of the places I've lived/visited, language practice, and although I'm not a very good cook, I could definitely make some basic "American Style" foods (ex. pancakes, cookies, brownies, etc.)!
