Hi! I'm a college student who adores travelling and meeting all kinds of new people (don't we all)!!! I'm studying computer science, linguistics, and psychology--I love the intersection of disparate ideas and ways of thinking!
I've been a babysitter, tutor, and nanny since I was 12 years old, but in the past year I've also started working as an ambassador for our honors program and for our engineering department (though only the engineering gig is paid). So, my *job* is to meet new people, talk to them, share interests, etc.
I'm a very studious and head-in-the-clouds sort of person, but I also adore going on adventures and exploring and interacting with people in every way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is such a fantastic way to meet new people and learn about other places, ideas, skills, ... Growing up, my family hosted countless exchange students (from all over the world), and I learned SO much from them and enjoyed the time together with ALL my heart. I am excited to someday (when I'm out of college and the dorm that that comes with) host people in my own home! But for now, it'll be fun to be on the other end of the wonderful thing that is hospitality! Can't wait to meet you!

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE sharing languages with people--I am a language FANATIC, and would be thrilled to engage in conversation in French with you, or to pick up a little of your language(s) or teach you a little of mine!

I love crafts and cooking and climbing (rocks/mountains/trees) and all kinds of things, and I'm always excited to learn any new skills or stories! I'm equally happy to show you any of my hobbies, if you happen to be interested!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hmm, I would love to talk about ANYthing with you--or just listen to your stories :-)

I'd be happy to go on adventures with you and/or see the sights together, but I'm also perfectly contented to explore on my own.
