Hey, I'm Bridgette! I am a full time student studying engineering in Nashville, Tennessee. I caught the travel bug when I studied abroad in the UK during the summer of 2014. Ever since, I have been itching to see the world!

I spent the summer of 2016 in Germany for an engineering internship, and I got to spend a lot of weekends with CS hosts. I was struck by the kindness and hospitality of this community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't think that you can get a good picture of a place exclusively from the "top sights" section on Lonely Planet. I think that you really need to interact with the people of a community, and couchsurfing is a great way to meet these locals and exchange stories.

Interests

I am interested in photography, though I am quite the amateur. I am interested in learning about different cultures and different ways of life. I love books and I am a bit of a film buff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh gosh, this is always the hardest section! I can't think of anything in particular, but I swear I'm not lame!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about people around the world. I am willing to be taught anything about other customs or traditions, and I am willing to share anything about my own experiences as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, thoughts, opinions and whatever is in my backpack!

I try really hard to be a considerate guest, but if there is something specific that I need to do, let me know!
