I love different languages and cultures. I studied abroad in Scotland and taught English in France (where I also learned the language), and they were some of my most valuable life experiences.

Last summer I visited a friend in Alaska, who signed me up for a 5K, which was the first time I tried to run. I loved it so running has been my newest hobby.

I am an arts aficionado, and I especially love to read and write. I took a few poetry classes this year and am trying to become serious about my writing and work toward publishing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people to do things with, or ideally to show me around if they are local, while I'm traveling in Europe.
