CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm 27, and after spending the summer of 2011 in Madrid, I have returned here to live! I'm an English teacher in a colegio...I teach students of 12-14 years.

I'm a huge sports fan and have traveled to many places in the U.S. to watch games. There's nothing I love more than the open road! I can be laid back, funny, thoughtful, intense all in the same day.

PHILOSOPHY

I wish I had a good answer for this question, but at this point I'd have to say that I'm still trying to figure out what my "personal philosophy" is. The Golden Rule, I suppose, is still the closest I can get. "Treat others how you want to be treated" I think sums it up perfectly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel, I try to make sure that all I need is a place to sleep. That's where Couch Surfing comes in. I believe very strongly in the guest-host relationship. It's important to me to be a polite, courteous, clean guest. When I get back home, I'd be more than willing to offer my couch to fellow travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used this site for a weekend in Paris in 2011, but honestly, I kind of forgot about it until recently. I had been using AirBnb and HostalWorld for traveling, but I wasn't meeting as many interesting people with those sites. So I would like to couchsurf again!
