I grew up in a rural town in Michigan, but I've been working as an English Teaching Assistant in Spain for the past four years. I've lived in Granada, Extremadura, Madrid, Almería, and now I'm in Sevilla. I am an extroverted introvert, so I love to meet new people, but I also love solo traveling. I’ve seen a lot of Europe over the past couple of years and I really value the people that I meet on every trip. They’re always what makes traveling worth it for me! There’s nothing better than opening your world view with new cultures and varying perspectives.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love travelling and I usually travel solo, so it's nice to meet up with like-minded travelers and locals when in a new place so that you can experience something off the beaten path.

Intereses

The most prominent one would be animals. I especially love dogs. I'm an avid traveler and I enjoy trying different foods from the places I visit. Additionally, I grew up in a very picturesque part of Michigan and spending time in the outdoors is important to me.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I'm always down to practice languages (I’m still working on Spanish), get tea or a drink, try some local foods, take a day-trip to some cool monument or natural feature, or simply have some nice chats. I am open-minded and easy-going and I love connecting with people while traveling.
