About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore as much of Europe as i can!

ABOUT ME

I am a very ambitious and driven person. I enjoy challenging myself and trying new things. My two biggest passions are languages and ballroom dancing. I am a fan of all things Harry Potter and I like playing dress-up.

PHILOSOPHY

A wise friend once told me.."Inch by inch, life is a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard" I am fascinated with all the different cultures in this world and I am extremely grateful for the experiences that I've had thus far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to the CS Project but I've hear very good things from my friends. I think that CS provides the perfect opportunity to get to know people from other places in the world and also provides a more fulfilling travel experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to surf but I hope to do a good amount of traveling while living in France this year so I will hopefully have some good CouchSurfing stories to share soon. I have, however, hosted several people in Madison, Wisconsin and recently 2 people here in Rodez. It was a blast! ^_^

Interests

Traveling & sightseeing, learning foreign languages, ballroom dancing, latin dancing, theater (especially Musicals), trying new styles of dance, cooking & eating, renaissance faire, fantasy books & movies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have read the Harry Potter series numerous times and I also enjoy David Sedaris' books. Besisdes that, I don't read all that much.

I enjoy foreign films (for example: Pan's Labyrinth, Amelie) and fantasy/medieval films (like LOTR)

I enjoy a wide array of music, from House to Celtic and from Flamenco to Frank Sinatra.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've recently done is be a Spanish RA at a language immersion camp in Vermont. I learned a lot and also fell head over heels for a very special man. ^_^

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach various styles of ballroom and latin dancing. I can also tutor French, Spanish or English.
