I am an American citizen currently living in Germany with a strong desire to see the world and to make the world a happier place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an English teacher, meaning I'm not making a whole lot of money. I prefer to see the real side of the places that I'm visiting as opposed to the tourist side that money buys.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to just about any genre of music. My favorite movies would have to be "Into the Wild", "Inception", and anything Marvel. As far as books go, I typically enjoy writing in my own journal, or reading a devotional in correspondence with my Bible, but I am working on picking up new books. My favorite would have to be "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coehlo! Everyone should read this book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went flying with a new friend in a two seater plane over the Austrian Alps!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my cooking skills, a willingness to learn new cultural values, and a positive and grateful attitude.
