Hello everyone! I'm 22 years old and attend Michigan State University. I grew up in Michigan and have studied abroad in Mexico during high school and in Europe and China while attending university! I'm an optimistic, easy-going person who loves meeting people who are excited about life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Apart from being able to meet people from around the world, I am mostly interested in Couchsurfing because I feel it will give me a more intimate understanding of the inner culture of the place I am visiting. The best experiences come from living with the locals. The ones who are native to those places are always the ones who know the BEST places to go!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I am a foreign language tutor, I can teach my hosts a bit of a new foreign language if they'd like. If they speak a different language as well, I would be interested in learning more about their language and culture. Food culture is extremely important to me. Having traveled abroad, I've learned how to cook some interesting foods! I hope to share and learn how to cook some typical dishes of the future places I will visit. Best of all, I can share my great sense of humor :D !
