ABOUT ME

I'm new to this Couchsufing experience, so please bear with me while I get my profile all sorted out.
I'm a student at the University of Utah. My degree is in Linguistics, so I have a great appreciation for people of other cultures and other languages.

PHILOSOPHY

You never finish growing as a person. There is always something new you can learn from other people and always something you can teach them too. Both are extremely rewarding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because of my roommates, I am unable to host surfers at my apartment, although I'm always happy to meet up with people for dinner or a drink. Just recently I started surfing myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This month is the first month I have been able to surf. I traveled to Marseille, but wasn't able to surf, however I did meet up with some surfers and we went to the Calanques together. I also stayed this month with a wonderful little family in Cannes.

Interests

I love music, politics, playing with my puppy, hanging out with friends, learning new languages, scuba diving, playing frisbee, darts, pool, anything really!
