Hi!
I just joined Couchsurfing and would love to meet other travelers! I am american, but was born and raised in Germany. I am now working as an english teacher in Spain for 6 months, then will be going to medical school in San Diego, CA. I am very friendly, respectful, clean, courteous, optimistic, open-minded and a happy person. I played tennis and cross country in university and love to be active.

Due to my work, i currently am not able to host anyone at this time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's great to be able to stay with people that live in a city or place that can give you recommendations and tips from the "locals" version of their town. I like to meet new people and would love to share my stories with them as well. I think Couchsurfing is a great way for both hosts and couchsurfers to benefit and learn from each other.

I like all types of movies, ranging from comedies to action/adventure to drama. Some of my favorite movies are: The Avengers, Ace Ventura, Crash, Pride and Prejudice and Superman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After i graduated college i traveled through Asia with my best friend. We started where i was living, in Hawaii, and went to Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and had a wonderful time! Some of the highlights were that we jumped off of waterfalls in Hawaii, saw Angkor Wat, attended a yoga class in Cambodia, biked in Vietnam, took cooking classes in Vietnam and Thailand, and tried incredible food as well as many other great experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some recipes, teach languages, tennis, exercise and nutrition. I try to learn how to cook from wherever i am. I took a cooking class in Vietnam and Thailand, so i can cook you a dish from there.
I would love to learn about you, your culture, your favorite places to go and do in your city,
