Hi! My name is Ally Templeton and I am studying Romance Languages at the University of Georgia. I love traveling, learning languages and meeting new people. I spent last semester (approximately 4 months) studying in Southeastern Brazil. I had such a blast and met so many great people that I am looking to backpack through Europe this summer (2015).
I am 20 years old and consider myself open-minded, optimistic and a considerate traveler. I love people with a good sense of humor and a positive outlook on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning to spend summer 2015 in Europe after completing a program in Russia and wanted to meet some interesting people and see some sights. I think that food is also very important when traveling/experiencing a new culture so I hope to bond with my host over some delicious food and wine!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is 1984 by George Orwell, though there are too many to choose just one, I can't decide on a favorite movie (also too many!) and I love any music I can dance to (which is anything with a beat).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 5 weeks studying in La Habana, Cuba in the summer of 2014.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share my experiences and learn about your experiences and language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am genuinely interested in other people and cultures and hope to learn as much as possible about the host's city and language. I hope that the exchange can be mutually beneficial and that we can have a good time and eat some good food!
