Hi,

My name is Santiago and I am currently enrolled Portland State University where I'm completing my MA degree in Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I enjoy teaching and learning languages, dancing Latin music, cooking, and exploring out in the nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because basically I like traveling and meeting people. And I think that Couchsurfing is an excellent way to do both things. I love the values that Couchsurfing promotes such as respect, friendship, tolerance, community-building and world peace.

Interests

Making new friends around the world, traveling, learning new languages, learning about new kinds of music, culture and food. I'm also a nerd so I am interested in studying a master's degree in language teaching and applied linguistics. Ialso love cats and dogs.
