Currently living in Germany, I am a dual citizen of Germany and the US. As I grew up between two continents, I sort of naturally grew up to love traveling. Though in the past I would have probably said that the best thing about traveling is the flight (I love planes!! And when else do you ever have an excuse to just sit around and watch TV while being served food and drink? Think about it... ;), a year spent teaching in La Paz, Bolivia taught me that the best thing about travel is the people that you meet.

As for my personality, I would say, I am somewhere between Meredith Brooks' "Bitch," Jet's "She's a Genius," Van Morrison's "Brown-eyed Girl," and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros' "Fiya Wata." So in a nutshell, I have a rich, open, loving, funny, and interesting character and I would like to think that I am well worth meeting and getting to know ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Two simple reasons: Traveling is not cheap and places are so much more interesting when you have someone who is from there!

Interests

I try to live by the motto "Don't knock it, if you haven't tried it!"

If something isn't on my list, then I either forgot it or I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best experiences of my life has been hiking in the Andes with a friend of mine for three days! I love pushing myself to my physical limits and though I am kind of a city girl, I fell in love with camping out in a tent and spending 24/7 out in nature. I will never forget the amazing views, the relaxing silence, and the quality time I got to spend bonding with my friend.
