I am a wanderer! I like to move cities every few years and get to know a new corner of the world. I have been intrigued with learning languages since I took my first Spanish class... Or even before! I am starting to learn a new type of language full-time soon; computer languages! I will be in downtown Chicago and in need a place to stay for the duration of my intensive classes, and am happy to talk about trades ( website building - related, perhaps? Language tutoring?) I love Yoga, but hardly practice anymore. I play lots of vball, and am currently trying to grow my vertical jump to over 2 inches :) I don't have any dogs, but always love it when I can stay with one!
Interested in Beer
Interested in Cooking

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I thrive when I surround myself with new people from new cultures around me all the time. I was outside of the states for so long that I frequently feel like the States are a foreign country to live in and experience. I get along with open- minded people who love travel as much as me. I am hoping to meet even more incredible people when I have my own place to host!
Music, Movies, and Books
Alternative, folk, most latin music, jazz, classic rock,and soo much more! pop music is my guilty pleasure :)
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I picked up my life and moved to Germany when I was 21. Maybe not that amazing to anyone who doesn't know my over-protective parents :)
What I Can Share With Hosts
I would be happy to share my vegetarian cooking (mostly vegan when I can resist my kryptonite... Cheese!!) I can teach German, Spanish or some Italian I am studying to be a web developer... We can talk about setting up a website if you are looking for one!
My Interests
Language and language learning, all sorts of personal development and inspiration.
