I'm a 21-year-old American student currently studying abroad in England for a semester. While I'm here, I really want to travel and see new parts of the world. I'm really easy going. I know when to have a structured plan but also when to be flexible. I obviously love traveling. I do enjoy taking in new cultures, food, but also meeting new people. I know that the friendships I make along the way are a little fleeting, but I've learned something new from each person I've met. I met a Chinese girl in Berlin who discussed gender issues in her country with me, and I've met a German man who taught me a lot about helping others. I'll probably never see those people again in my life, but they've taught me things that will ultimately make me a better person. Geeze, that got sappy. I should probably write for Hallmark or become a formula writing like Nicholas Sparks. Kidding.
Sadly, English is the only language I'm fluent in. But I'm willing to give learning another language a try!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To have a nice place to stay, and make a few friends along the way. I love meeting people who are from different backgrounds, and can give me a new perspective on the world.

Intereses

I'm interested in writing. I plan on becoming a journalist when I graduate from college. Currently, I write a blog for my school newspaper about my travels abroad. At home, I also freelance for a local paper that I interned for.

Música, películas y libros

My taste in music has a wide range. I'll listen to anything from Beyonce to old-school jazz.

My favorite movie is the French film Popularie. But I'll probably have a new favorite film next month!

My favorite book right now is The Awakening by Kate Chopin. But as I read more books, I'm sure I'll find a new favorite to hold onto.
