Hello! I am a 22 year old recent college grad from the United States currently working in Spain as an English teacher before pursuing my master's degree in speech therapy! Currently not accepting guests until April

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to couch surfing but since I've so far loved hosting old friends on my couch in Madrid and showing them around, I want to do the same for new friends! I think it's a great way to meet people and learn more about different places and cultures either as a guest or as a host :)

Interests

I like to eat and cook (a constant learning process, but so fun!), and so naturally my favorite things while traveling all generally involve food. I'm a language nerd and love learning about different languages and what makes them special even if I can't learn them all myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Some of my favorites are Slaughterhouse V, Girl On The Train, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, Harry Potter. I recently really started to get into graphic novels, I love Maus, Persepolis, and V for Vendetta. I also appreciate getting lost in a good mystery novel, though I need to read more of the classics! Would love book suggestions

Movies: Bee Movie

TV: I'm a fanatic for Veronica Mars, iZombie, and anything Rob Thomas creates. Also massively into Parks and Recreation, Buffy, Please Like Me, and Girls.

Music: whatever makes me happy! Green Day, Busted, One Direction, Sia, Panic! At the Disco, Carly Rae Jepsen, Blondie, Joan Jett

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation in English! Also, cooking together is one of my favorite things to do, so I would be more than happy to make something Chinese, American, or vaguely Spanish. If you like riddles or geography games, I'm always trying to share them with people.
