ABOUT ME
I just finished a 4-month volunteer program as an English teacher in Coquimbo, Chile, and I've just gone home again.
I graduated from Amherst College in Massachusetts with a degree in Spanish, and in 2007 and 2008 I spent 11 months abroad, studying in Spain and in Germany, in addition to visiting many European countries. I moved to San Antonio, Texas after graduation, where I live with my mom and small brown dog, Hershey.
When I have a free moment I like to hang out with my friends, watch television or movies, and read. I still need to figure out what I want to do with my life, I guess, although I'll continue to substitute teach when I return to the United States.

PHILOSOPHY
I'm still working on this one, but I'd like to make sure I take advantage of every moment and every opportunity I am given. When I'm 80, I want to have no regrets and I want to be proud of what I've done.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
Climbed the pyramid at Chichén Itzá, Mexico. Volunteered for two weeks in a rural town in the Dominican Republic. And, climbed the Brocken, northern Germany's highest mountain. Who knew I had it in me? Thanks, Couchsurfers!
Lehren, lernen, teilen
I always am eager to learn something, so if you want to teach me how to cook, how to say something in your language or dialect, or even something technical, I'm up for it. (Especially interested in practicing German and Spanish and learning Portuguese!)
