CURRENT MISSION

Essentially my current mission is to improve my Spanish. I can understand written Spanish fairly well but I still have difficulty understanding spoken Spanish.

ABOUT ME

Friendly, extroverted, and excited to be traveling!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that there is no time like the present to travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would love to stay with someone who speaks Spanish natively and wants to learn English so that we can help each other out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to couchsurfing, but bought a one-way ticket to Spain and thought I'd start here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one??? Hmmm...well the most recent amazing thing I've done (besides moving to Spain) was scuba diving in Mexico. If you live near the coast, love the water, or you think you would enjoy the sensation of being weightless and breathing underwater(!) I highly recommend getting certified.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I am very knowledgable about computers in general, so if you are having computer problems, I am your go-to guy—ask me anything! My degree is in Environmental Science, and I wrote an undergraduate thesis on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, so if you are passionate about the environment, that is another subject I can go on about for hours.

Learn: I am staying in Spain for the purpose of learning Spanish, so if you are a fluent spanish speaker, me gusta hablar contigo en español para aprender más!
