I am an American living in Belgium with my boyfriend. Our apartment is too small to host anyone, but I might like to meet up, so send me a message!

I am a self-proclaimed nerd. You might not think so to look at me, but once you get to know me, you will understand. I love intelligent conversation, I am a huge fan of fantasy/science fiction, and I could talk for hours about the stories I love (but only if you're willing to listen).

I am an introvert, so I can be a little shy at first, but I like meeting new people. l love traveling and want to do it more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm here in Europe, I want to travel and visit as many different countries as possible. Since I love learning about the way that other people live and think, couchsurfing is the perfect way for me to experience the places I visit.

Interests

I love reading, watching movies/TV, wasting time on the internet, listening to music, and traveling. I love beautiful things like sunsets and works of art. I like having deep conversations with people about topics relevant to our world today, although I am considerably less informed than I would like to be. Because of that, I love learning about new things (although I'm not a particular fan of school itself, haha...).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 8 days crossing the Nevada dessert by covered wagon/on foot when I was 14 years old (and I survived, despite being stepped on by a mule).

I speak English, so if you want help learning or improving your English, I'd be perfectly willing to help.

As I said earlier, I love learning, so anything you can teach me, I'd love it!
