I have formally made traveling a way of life, using English education as the (attempted) means. I have found over the past few years that there are too many beautiful people around for me to just sit at home and wait to meet them.

I am easy going and really just like immersing myself in different cultures

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Safety concerns aside (sorry mom!), I have met some wonderful people who have let me crash with them or just went out for a couple of drinks. I am not huge into technology but this site has definitely allowed me to make some powerful connections.

Interests

- Urban agriculture/community gardens. Growing interest in sustainable living in both country and city settings.
- Books...specifically memoirs
- Getting outside- which was easier before it started getting cold. I live at the beach!
- Coffee!Espresso! I've worked in this field since I was 14 so caffeine is a must
- Music of course. Specifically live music.
- It has become abundantly clear to me that another interest of mine is making lists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a train across Bulgaria to touch the Black Sea!

Also swam in a HUGE grouping of dolphins (pod?), which proved mildly terrifying as the body of water was at least 200 feet deep!

Teach, Learn, Share

So though I studied Spanish extensively throughout university I would like to work on (re)learning grammar as well as confidence to use it out loud!

I also would like it if someone could teach me how to dance. Or at least teach me how to have the confidence to learn how to dance.
