I am an American university student. In the US I attend Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI to earn a degree in psychology, but I am currently living in Granada, Spain for one semester to learn Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet likeminded people and have experiences that you just can't find in a hotel or hostel. In the future I'd love to be able to open my home to others to pay it forward.

Interests

Music and concerts, art and poetry, traveling and adventure. I really love solo traveling because of the freedom it gives you and the unique experiences you find.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This winter I decided to uproot my life in the frigid midwest of the United States and move to Spain for a couple months. Hopefully I'll have some more things to add to this box by the end of this ongoing adventure. I recently went on a solo trip through Budapest, Prague, and Amsterdam planned for the end of this month that I'm really looking forward to.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Maybe a little bit of Spanish? Thought I'm nowhere near perfect yet!
Learn: Anything you have to offer. I'm always open to new ideas and cultures.
Share: Stories of our travels so far and dreams for the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge of Spanish culture, perhaps bringing some recipes or a bottle of good Spanish wine. I'd also love to share experiences, if there's a local event going on like a concert or something.
