WVU law student, foodie, lover of wine. I am bold and outgoing, always looking for an adventure. There are more things in this world to see than can be seen, but I'm sure as hell gonna try!

"Tis a big and beautiful world. Most of us live and die in the same corner where we were born and never get to see any of it. I don't want to be most of us." Oberyn, Game of Thrones

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to travel in the summer of 2016 in the weeks before and after a study abroad trip with my school.

I have lived with host families on my travels (not through couch surfing) and I have enjoyed my time much more than when I stay in hotels. I want to learn what the real culture of a country is like, not what the tourism industry wants you to think it is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I organized a spontaneous fundraising event while in Ghana and helped fund a computer lab in a library which I was helping construct. The tribe was so grateful they made me a member of their tribe with an elevated, royal status. I cannot wait to return to see the library since it's completion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you learn English. I know what it's like to study language, I have experience teaching children to read in English, and I have a strong and vast vocabulary to share with you.

I would love to learn about European culture. Not the stereotypes portrayed in tourist traps, but

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and would love to trade lessons! I'll teach you how to make traditional American foods (assuming I can get the ingredients) if you will teach me how to make traditional dishes from your country!

I can cook food from most regions of America, but I love making food from the south east (think Paul Deen).
