About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm an out-going workaholic vegetarian teacher who loves house pets and dessert. I realized the other day when 10 of my closest friends unexpectedly descended on my kitchen at dinner time that cooking good food for people and enjoying dinner conversation is my favorite activity. A close second is connecting people and watching new friendships grow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm a little crazy with work, but I hope to get back into CS over the summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few travelers in Barcelona and have stayed one night in Madrid with a lovely couple.

Interests

I work as a teacher trainer and I love the experience. I also love to read well-written books, cook and bake, hang out with kids and dogs, meet new people, cruise the city on my pink Barbie bike, and discover new music (Pantera is my current guilty pleasure). I'm learning to play guitar, I'm in a chick punk band and I go every Monday to a great event you HAVE to experience if you're in Barcelona: www.antikaraoke.com
I love good red wine, spicy, hearty vegan/vegetarian food, vegan cupcakes and micro brew. I connect with people over food and I love to eat!
