I grew up in the US and loved the road trips I would always take with my family! Traveling is my passion but not as much as getting to know the people and culture of places I go to see. I am a little awkward and introverted at first but after an hour or so of getting to know some one you will begin to see my quirky, warm side!

I studied Spanish at school and am very conversational once I get past my fear of talking to natives! I am dying to keep up with my Spanish and learn more languages!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I said I love traveling! I'd to hang with locals and really understand a new place and culture and make connections around the world as well as go out and enjoy myself. I think it would be a cool experience to stay with a native person or even a local. I also would love it if we could all help bring more hospitality and kindness into the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived on a ship for 4 months and traveled around the Atlantic ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to knit, salsa, hula hoop, English, other dances, and share stories from my life, and travels. I am also a great listener and love hearing your stories as well!

I'd love to learn a new dance, or how to cook a new dish or visit any other cool places you'd recommend.
