About Me

Hello! My name is Marissa. Im 22 years old, fresh out of college. I studied at SUNY New Paltz and absolutely adored it, but it was time for a change and my dream has always been to live/work abroad, so I got a job teaching English here in Zaragoza, Spain.
Extremely open-minded and accepting of all (good) people, love those who go off the beaten path. Enjoy intellectually stimulating conversation, especially those about social issues. Proud feminist! 💪💃
I love all types of music, dancing, going out, hiking and nature activities, travelling, etc. (also 420 friendly 😉)
