CURRENT MISSION

To continue to be crazy and adventurous post-undergrad education!

ABOUT ME

I'm tall, loud, and I love leg warmers. I'm a bit quirky, but I get along with people well: I always like making new friends. I play football (soccer) and I'm an aspiring writer! I love reading, especially science fiction. I'm currently studying to be a speech therapist and ideally want to work in public schools!

PHILOSOPHY

To dance when I think no one is watching and to dance when I know everyone is watching

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I love hosting travelers, I am currently unable to host in my present living situation :( So right now, I'm doing the surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few lovely people when I lived in Switzerland, and meet some great hosts during my time in Australia!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Germany during the 2006 World Cup and I have never seen a country so rejuvenated and overwhelmingly welcoming as Germany was during that sports tournament. I turned 16 the night of the Germany v. Poland Game (Germany won 1-0) and it was one of the best nights of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

The first coffee tree was discovered in Ethiopia by a goat herder when his goats started eating the beans and acting crazy and caffeinated. The rest is history!
