Introvert. Sensor. Feeler. Judger. (ISFJ)

I was born with the "explorer gene."

I am naturally a quiet person and I don't like to draw attention to myself, but I love meeting new people. I love getting to know people who can teach me something. I am especially obsessed with langauge study right now. Learning a new language opens up so many new possibilities: new places, people, and cultures.

I do Talent Development and Training for a technology retail company called Victra. My company has offered more than a job for me, it’s become a home and a family. People often can’t believe how amazing the culture is at my job. It was profound enough that I changed fields to be a part of it.

My education is in medicine, cell and molecular biology. The field is primarily concerned with genetics, genomics, and genetic engineering. One day I would love to combine my love for robotics and biology to help improve the "human condition."

I am a lifetime learner. I love learning new things. Maybe you can teach me something?!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing at the recommendation of a friend, another explorer. I really like meeting new people and I love to travel. I hope to not only see new places while I travel, I hope to make new friends and learn from them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned a new language... definitely one of the best things I have ever learned!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about robotics and 3d printing, cooking, how to pull a shot of espresso, fire building, . I would be happy to help you with your English.

I would love for you to teach me a new language(or at least some). I love learning new ethnic dishes and how to serve/eat them. Please teach me anything! I love to learn new things. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A warm and welcoming home, language exchange, some of the most beautiful hikes in the Ozark Mountains, kayaking(in season), a 3D print of your own, home-cooked meals, rides when I am not working, and all the best points of interest in the area.
