I am an English as a second language teacher (ESL) currently living the digital- nomad life until I go back to school to get my PhD in Linguistics. I am currently back in my home state of Minnesota for a month while I change out suitcases from Barcelona to South and Central America. Before living in Barcelona, I was a translator (English/Arabic) and have studied Latin, Ancient Greek, Russian, in College and Spanish in High School (still working on brushing up on my subjunctive)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think you miss out on the personality of a region if you stay in hotels, living with people really opens your eyes to the personality of a place and helps you understand the world through other persepectives

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went SCUBA diving the in the Silfra Fissure in Iceland the water was so close but the visibility was incredible and totally worth the brain freeze

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer English lessons if hosts are interested during my stay, I am also fluent in Arabic so if you want to learn how to write your name in another alphabet I can help out with that too:)

I lived in Barcelona Spain and got by with my Spanish, but I definitely am still making some mistakes and would love the practice.
