CURRENT MISSION

Meeting interesting people, learning German, bettering myself, and surrounding myself with positive people and experiences.

ABOUT ME

I am a 28-year-old American girl living in Spain. I fell in love with it many years ago and while I always keep my options open, I would certainly not mind it at all if I stayed here forever. I have two Master's degrees in translation and am about to start my freelancing business translating from Spanish and Catalan into English. I'm a hopeless romantic, a devoted friend, and nothing makes me happier than being around good people and making them smile.

PHILOSOPHY

We're not lost. We're on an adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I'd like to think that setting up a life across the ocean is pretty damn awesome, if I do say so myself! Hahaha!

Teach, Learn, Share

I must admit I'm a pretty bad teacher, hahaha, but I do love to learn, and I especially love learning about new langauges and cultures, meeting people from different backgrounds but all united by the desire to connect with the world and be as good to each other as we can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation when you need to talk, a shoulder to cry on when you're feeling down, and some great farmer's market events!
