Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and connect with new people, and to learn their stories and share my own.

Interests

I played volleyball for years before deciding to become a coach. I like coaching elementary age kids where the atmosphere isn't competitive but instead is a fun environment where they can grow and love the sport.

Ancient history and cultural diffusion are my all-time favorite subjects to learn and discuss. I love delving into a civilization's belief system and cultural imprint that persists in modern society.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an avid listener of all music genres but love indie and musicals
Some of my favorite bands are:
Bleachers
The Killers
Panic!
All Disney songs

Some books I love are The Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice, The Golden Compass, and Great Expectations

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm, backpacked through 14 cities in Eastern Europe by myself because I wanted to learn about the countries that are never mentioned in American education

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English in all its intricacy and would love to learn about other cultures and share stories with all the new people I meet

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting and thoughtful conversation, and song suggestions. I also promise to clean up well after myself!
