About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see the world
ABOUT ME
I love meeting new people, learning about new ideas, cultures, customs, and ways of doing things. I am currently completing a Fulbright Scholarship at IE Business School in Madrid. Before I go back to the USA, I would love to see more of the world and gain a broader understanding so I can take back this knowledge to the USA and make a difference there! Oh yeah, I like to party, do math/solve technical problems, play music, keep in shape (football also known as ´´soccer´´ in the US, wrestling, tennis, and anything else), and I´m passionate about perfecting my Spanish language skills. I am completing my Master's completely in Spanish, but I'm always looking for new Spanish colloquialisms that I haven't learned yet.
PHILOSOPHY
Work Hard, Play Hard
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been hosted in many European countries and have met other CSs throughout my travels. Looking forward to hosting when I return to the USA.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first experience was during 2008 when I studied abroad in Madrid. The community has been and is still extremely helpful in getting me started, so I´m confident that couchsurfing will continue to be an excellent experience! I'm looking to see the world through CS while I'm in Europe and then do the same for others when I get back to the USA
