I use the ancient CouchSurfing ways, and I really enjoyed the old "About Me" section, so here it is, not really updated:

CURRENT MISSION

See the world in figure out what it is that I want to do in it. Have insane adventures where I am forced to test my limits and abilities.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, I enjoy life to the fullest and have written a ridiculous amount of things for my age.
I lived in Germany for about two years and my mother lives in Australia. I'm really excited to meet more international students, learn languages, and enjoy life!
I enjoy talking about all sorts of things. I love animals and am a vegetarian. Art, music, film, and television series are all things I adore.

I consider myself really easy to get along with and flexible. I would love to stay with you, and I'd love to host for the first time!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't plan very far ahead and hope for the best. When you're forced to rely on other people you really see the best in humanity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to be the easiest and best guest I can be on someone else's couch.
Hosting people who are traveling around, cooking dinner.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only a couple experiences! Never hosted but excited to try.

Interests

I love animals, art, writing, literature, a good bottle of wine, mythology (Cherokee mythology is so cool!), dogs, dogs, dogs, video games, and, naturally, travelling. Also really enjoy meeting exciting people abroad and having long conversations with them auf Deutsch or English or even experiment with Norwegian or somethin', about random stuff I find cool.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been in love. Had aboriginal Australians tell me the mythology behind Uluru/Ayer's Rock while sitting in the middle of the Outback on a sunny day. Went diving on more than one Hawaiian island and the Great Barrier Reef. Met my favorite musicians. Went to Budapest on a whim with no way of going home and no place to stay. Traveled home with strangers after a concert across Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and Germany. Slept on wooden boards outside of a casino, in the rain, when traveling around Germany and being a delinquent. Grew up a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I study English so am more than willing to help with someone's English skills. Currently studying to get my TESOL, as well as general Applied Linguistics. I will geek out about language even though it's such a new hobby!

I know a lot more than I want to admit about weird mythologies (Cherokee mythology is the best!), I can recommend 1940's queer or civil right's literature, and am an overall well-educated person on random things that I can't think of.
Ask! I'd love to just talk about whatever anyone wants.
