Hello! I just recently spent a year traveling and working in the Netherlands and now I'm back in my hometown for a while. I love travel and teaching English.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thought it would be fun and different to try couch surfing to meet more locals and to get a richer experience while traveling. I haven't ever done couchsurfing but I will always check here when planning a trip.

Interests

I enjoy writing a lot. I really like music and I try to go to as many concerts as I can. I prefer going out for treats. My favorite form of expression is dancin'. I really like the 90's. When I'm not eating pizza and cookies you can find me petting cats somewhere.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of indie-rock and singer/songwriter type tunes. Some favorites include Vampire Weekend, Iron & Wine, and Destiny's Child. My favorite movies are A Christmas Story and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I really like Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once cycled across my home state of Ohio.

Teach, Learn, Share

I just spent a year teaching a Dutch child how to speak English so I'm pretty passionate about helping others with learning English.

I like hearing about others' lives and what has made them who they are so I'd love to hear your story!

I'll probably share some treats with you and maybe some Dutch if you are interested!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very easy going and independent. I like learning about where I am visiting so I have a genuine interest in hearing stories and fun facts. I have lived in numerous circumstances so I try to be very cautious of others and their space.
