I am a senior currently making my way out to Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA in my cute big ole’ van . I am an Environmental Studies-Economics and German Studies double major with the dream of learning as many languages as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

No better way to meet people, explore a culture, or learn a language!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to Courtney Barnett, Thai and the Get Down Stay Down, Chicano Batman, Hozier, Bon Iver, Kurt Vile, Annenmaykantereit. Going to small or low-key venues is one of my favorite pastimes. My favorite movies are Across the Universe and RATATOUILLE .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a gap-year after high school and studied at a “folkehøgskole” in Norway learning both the language and soaking up the country’s fjords and incredible outdoors. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and what sparked my interest for learning languages.
