-Update May 2016: I will be embarking on a long trip from June through August 2016. I will not be able to accept requests during this time. I will update my profile upon my return.

CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as possible while I can. Meet people from all places. Get to know other cultures. Eat the local food from everywhere I go!

ABOUT ME

I am a school teacher, so I get a lot of free time throughout the year and I like to use it for travel. I have been fortunate enough to visit many interesting and fun places in the last few years. I'd definitely love to go back to many of those places, but there are also many others I haven't visited yet. Seems like every time I check off a place from the bucket list a new one magically gets added!

I am also currently learning French. So anything that has to do with French culture or French language interests me. I have been studying it for a while now and love every opportunity I can get to practice what I've learned.

My partner Jason is also my travel partner. He too is a francophone and shares the same passion for traveling and exploring other cultures. He works in the airline industry and has a job which gives him flexibility to take time off throughout the year. It works great for us!

I am Mexican and he is American. We are both fluent in English and Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have mostly participated as a host so far. It's been so nice to get to know people from distant places right here in my home. I look forward to having my first experience as a guest. Maybe on my next trip!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite cities I've traveled to is Barcelona. I love everything this great city has to offer.

Also, as a sushi lover, it was an amazing experience to have it at a fish market in Tokyo!

Teach, Learn, Share

I always enjoy teaching Spanish to anyone that is interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are a very laid back couple. We are easy to get a long with. We can teach you Spanish (or English if that is what you are learning!).
