CURRENT MISSION

Explore and learn. Language exchanges welcome :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a creative-thinking, free spirit. I like to go out all night, but wake up early to explore the daytime sights. I insist on walking everywhere. And I enjoy spending time with loving, open-minded people from all walks of life.

After graduating university, I spent a year in Italy soaking up the culture and running around with bambini as an English camp tutor and aupair. It wasn't long after returning to the US that I found myself back on a plane across the ocean. I lived in Prague teaching at an International School for a year. And now I'm TEFL-certified to be a nomad. Looking to explore the world and learn from the beautiful people and places around me. Let's share some good stories, food, and drinks :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed for the first time August 2014. After I finished English camp, I met my friend in Ireland and we stayed with a host in Inis Mor. It was an amazing experience, being treated so hospitably with nothing expected in return. I'm not capable of hosting at the moment, but when I am back in the States with my own place I would definitely consider opening my couch up to fellow travelers who want to learn a little more about American culture and share their stories.
