Overview
About Me
Hello everyone! I'm a traveler and English teacher from California. I'm moving to Madrid in a week and I will be hunting for an apartment as soon as I arrive. I was just traveling through Europe all summer and I met some amazing people in the CS community at different events who really inspired me to try it out. I'm very outgoing and I would love to hang out and chat with like-minded people about our travels and experiences. I'm not shy about having deep conversations over coffee or a drink. If you host me, I can guarantee a fun time. In my spare time I love to go to shows and dance, hike/bike, explore and have philosophical conversations. Currently learning Spanish.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think it's a great way to meet new people and learn about other cultures. I plan on becoming a host as soon as I find my new place in Madrid!
