About Me

I'm about to graduate with a B.A in International Studies. I'm passionate about politics, education and the outdoors. Most importantly, I love traveling! I take every opportunity I can to visit unfamiliar places and try new things. I believe that the best way to really see what a new place has to offer is to experience it with an open mind and adventurous soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling to Europe for a semester of exploring and studying! I love experiencing new places and meeting new people.

Interests

I love being outdoors and on the move! Hiking, rafting, backpacking and sightseeing are my favorites. I also love plays, live music and dancing! I enjoy finding the hidden gems in cities like local farmers markets and food carts as well as seeing large attractions.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have always loved reading, Harry Potter and Nancy Drew books fill my bookshelves at home. Right now I'm working my way through Don Quixote. I love music and am open to most genres. I don't have favorites for long but right now I'm digging the Australian artist Vance Joy. My favorite childhood movie is The Princess Bride.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to participate in the International Model United Nations conference twice in college:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to help with anyone learning English (goodness knows I need help with my languages). I love cooking and could teach you Western swing dancing if you want to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to help with any cooking. I want to get to know people and have interesting conversations to learn more about each others cultures! I'll always be respectful of your space and any house rules!
