I'm a very friendly and warm person. I'm not super wild and crazy, but I love to laugh and have fun. I teach English as a foreign language and am so happy that it brings me closer to so many different types of people and cultures. I'm from the Seattle area originally. I love to meet people and love learning as much as possible (especially languages.) Hablo inglés y español, pero tengo que practicar mi español

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is very important to me to learn from people, relate to people, and try to gain a genuine experience in a culture rather than spending all my time just going from one hostel to another. Would love to meet some cool people to get a feel for what a place is really like.

Also would be excited to ever return the favor once I settle down in the states again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Study abroad in Ecuador. Stayed with an amazing family in Quito and greatly improved my Spanish (which has helped me to get to know even more people who are so so wonderful, amazing and kind!)
