Hey! I'm Spencer, a 24 year old small-town girl from the USA who has been living in the not-so-small city of Beijing, China for the last year of my life. I teach English to Kindergartners and I can sing the heck out of Baby Shark. I fell in love with traveling when I studied abroad in Lithuania for a semester during my junior year of college and I absolutely love living abroad even more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I said, I love to travel and while I'm in China I'm trying to cross as many places of my bucket list as possible. And what better way than to save money while also meeting new people and exploring unique opportunities!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I packed up my whole life and moved exactly half way across the world to live in a little country called China where I knew no one and I loved it! Oh and also one time wasn't late for work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play Wonderwall on the guitar, knit a scarf, cook homemade chicken noodle soup, and solve a Rubix Cube. I will also make you pancakes.

I want to learn how to meditate, grow food indoors, drive a motorcycle, play poker, and cook a beef wellington.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you around the house, cook meals, teach you Chinese, and entertain you with my stories.
