Hi! I'm Sam. I'm 25 from St. Louis, Missouri, USA (aka the most dangerous city in the US #badass). In the fall of 2014 I lived in Peru for 5 months where I studied at a university in Lima and sparked my interest in all things travel. I recently moved to Madrid, Spain to take a job as a ESL teacher. I am currently working on my Spanish in hopes of becoming fluent in the near future. I have seen 3 world wonders... Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, and the Grand Canyon. I love to travel and meet new people from different cultures. I love to read, to hike, watch Netflix, to eat, to explore, a nice glass on wine, and to have fun. I have made a long list of friends from a lot of different countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to use couchsurfing as a platform to meet people while they are traveling, and to travel by the good grace of strangers :)
