I'm an English teacher, but previously a nurse from Florida, USA! I was living in Southeast Asia and Mexico for the past year teaching English and I decided it was a good time to come back to Spain. I'm a pretty laid back dude, and love to go with the flow of things usually. That said, I do like to have a plan for everything, even if it's a loose one. I'm organized, friendly, caring, considerate, flexible, motivated and a hard worker. I have an immature sense of humor. I strive to improve myself everyday and I hope to one day be more secure with myself, confident and be a positive example for other people. My passion is teaching and traveling is a hobby that I hope will never get old.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard countless stories from friends about the couchsurfing community and the positive experiences they've had meeting other like minded individuals. I made my profile a few years ago with no real goal and didn't get involved with anything couchsurfing related until this year. This year I started going to couchsurfing meetups in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and even Phuket. I don't really have a home at the moment and I would like to start hosting when I get to Mexico in April. My hope for my couchsurfing journey is to share my experiences with others, listen, learn, and most importantly have fun!
