About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn - Teach - Listen

ABOUT ME

I'm from North Carolina, I live in Logroño. I enjoy enjoying myself while teaching English, traveling, and absorbing as much of the world as my body allows.

PHILOSOPHY

Essentially I am a hedonist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I highly enjoy traveling and love meeting people, so I will be willing to have a traveler stay a bit at my apartment, and hope that I will be able to receive the same hospitality from other members.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had nothing but positive, entertaining experiences spending time with people in the CS program, and I mean, how can I complain about crashing on someone's couch?

Interests

Culture and the languages that represent them, people and what they have to say, food and how to make it, writing and listening about what others have read, and overall exploration of the world and what it has to offer. I guess I like sports too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked a 4 day trail in the Incan heartland of Peru to the top of Machu Pichu. That was pretty amazing for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Closely studying the people of each country I have visited, I enjoy comparing and contrasting cultures, languages, and beliefs. I want to learn what you might have to say about me, my culture, my language, and all of the facets included in these themes.
