I'm an island girl from Hawaii teaching English and living in Spain. I'm an Language and Culture assistant, teaching at public secondary schools in Spain, currently in Andalucia. I'm also the Communications Associate and writer for Jetset Times, an amazing digital travel magazine that everybody should check out for personally curated travel recommendations and information. My favorite cities in the world are Madrid, Lisbon, L.A., Berlin, and London.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm friendly, outgoing and also really low maintenance so I don't need much wherever I'm staying.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed a few times throughout Portugal and all my hosts turned out to be super awesome and I would love to keep meeting cool people as I travel :)

I prefer to host and stay with women on CS because I think it's important for female travelers to look out for one another and create a sense of safety and community whenever we travel. So ladies if you need a chill place to stay come through!
