Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
not at the moment. on second thought, maybe, kebabs?
ABOUT ME
I (not so) recently graduated college with a degree in Anthropology and Spanish. I'm interested in language acquisition and have been doing non-profit work as a tutor for dyslexic students. For the past two years I have been teaching English in Malaga, Spain while trying to figure out where my future leads.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that relationships (in every form) are the key to the human experience. I travel not just to see sights but to connect with people and their experiences across the globe.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can't host because my roommates aren't comfortable with it, but I'm hoping to make use of this site to explore new cities and meet their lovely inhabitants!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've surfed a couple of times and it has always been a memorable experience! More to come I hope!
Interests
Swings!, second-hand stores, costumes for all occasions, traveling, all types of dance: tango, salsa, jazz, ballet, two-step, hip-hop, merengue, bachata -- I love it all and I hope to expand this list!
