I'm quirky, perky, and know the capital of Turkey! I am a language enthusiast traveling around before returning to college. I am very interested in international relations and cultures, but also dabble in many other fields of interest such as engineering, economics, aviation, medicine, and environmental studies.

I am very open minded and friendly. I love talking (about everything!) and am always open to a diverse set of opinions. I have many ambitions and at least one of them is bound to spark your interest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting locals throughout my travels and experience the culture from a native perspective. I love to talk with people and make new friends, so what better way than through couch surfing. Hotels are lonely and hostels are impersonal, so let's meet up and talk!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love romances, drama, and documentaries. I love learning and reading books. Some of my favorite books are Water For Elephants, The Painted Veil, and Acts of Faith (Eboo Patel). As for movies and TV shows, I love iOrigins, Far From the Madding Crowd, and 君の名は (Your Name).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done is serve as a cultural ambassador between The United States and Germany. Since then I've traveled so much and learned so much about the world. This is a huge part of my dreams and I am very happy to be doing that now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my travel experiences as well as other ideas. I have lived abroad a few times now and have many crazy adventure stories to share.

I love talking and am open to talking about almost everything. I am easy going and adventurous. I am willing to try anything once. (:
