CURRENT MISSION

To breathe new air

ABOUT ME

Hi there. :) Hmm, all about me? That's a lot to put into a little box. I'll just say that right now I'm a student studying abroad in Spain. Haven't traveled much before this year, but ever since I was 13, I wanted to be a foreign exchange student! haha. I would look through a world atlas and try to memorize all the basic facts about every country and their flag. Or I would read the series Culture Shock and buy Rick Steves phrase books for random countries that I might encounter one day. Now I'm out of the old country and in Europe, so I'm hoping to satisfy some of my 13 year old dreams. :)

PHILOSOPHY

honesty, respect, kindness, smiling?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
