I'm currently an au pair originally from the USA and I've been traveling through Europe since I was 17. I've lived in Austria, Germany, and now here in the Netherlands. In April (2015) I'll go home to the USA and start my preparations to move to Finland to study! I love to laugh, be surrounded by good company, and love for people to show me what 'home' is to them. My hidden talents are playing a shit version of wonderwall on the ukulele and showing no shame while karaoking.

PHILOSOPHY

"Decide what to be and go be it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm living in a small town in the netherlands called Gorinchem so I could be wrong, but I'm not sure there would be many people interested couchsurfing with me. But if by chance someone would I'd be happy to let them stay with me!

Everything interests me which as great as it is distracting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a Rotary Youth Exchange student in Austria. Being a part of this program is what showed me that traveling is what I want to do for the rest of my life. It was a year that brought people from around the world together on the single idea of sharing our cultures while living in a new country and learning about theirs. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company and a genuine interest in who you are and what the city you're living in means to you!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Austria, Germany, Netherlands, United States
