I'm still pretty young but I have SO much traveling I want to do. So, I need to get started. I'm currently in college working towards a bachelors degree in geography with a minor in anthropology. I really love learning about different cultures and places.
Interested in Animals
Interested in Cycling
Fluent in English
Learning Spanish
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I think there's something to be said about people who are willing to open their homes to people who need it, and those are people I would like to know. It's also so so awesome to make friends in different places and have memories all over the world. That's my goal here :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Well, I'm not very picky so I'll listen to and/or watch almost anything. Reading is different. I have to be really into the book to enjoy reading it. Generally something exciting with a little humor. Humor is so important.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
hm, I jumped out of a plane once.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm not really sure what they want me to put here.. I guess I've learned that a smile and a friendly attitude goes a long way. :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
I've not been a host and I currently don't have my own home to open up so, at this point, I'll probably just be the one sleeping on your couch. That is, until I can return the favor.
My Interests
traveling, of course animals learning and new experiences nature any type of outdoorsy activities. hiking, biking, camping, all of the above.
