Couchsurfing feels like the best way to meet local people and learn more about their language, culture, interests and world views. It's easy to stay in a bubble even when travelling so hopefully couchsurfing will help me get me away from that and meet new people! I'm a Master of Arts student in International Studies at the Josef Korbel School in Denver and am interested in sustainable development and Latin American studies. I lived/worked in Nicaragua for 4 years, Im a Spanish teacher (adults and children) and work for DU Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition. I love to learn, be outside and be active.

I look forward to meeting you.x
