Hello!

I just graduated from University in 2016 and wanted to find any way possible to move back to Germany, where I had previously studied abroad, so I became an AuPair! My time as an AuPair has just come to an end, but I have some time before I have to return to the US. Until then I'm planning on making the most of being here in Europe - hopefully you'll be able to help me with that a little :)

I love talking about literature, cultural differences and other perspectives, linguistics, and many other things. I consider myself to be an idealist. I enjoy getting to know other people and I absolutely love when they talk to me or teach me about things they are passionate about!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the first time in my life that I will actually have the time and resources to travel, and a friend suggested to look at Couchsurfing. I figured they were right - the best way to get to know a city in the short amount of time I may have is to learn from someone who lives there and loves it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I would love to help improve your English skills, if you'd like! I also really love to bake - I'm great with desserts but terrible with breads or doughs.

Learn: Anything - whatever you'd like to share!

Share: I love photography! Maybe you'd like some cool photos of yourself? I'm happy to share a link to my portfolio :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share good conversation, my own perspective, we can have impromptu photoshoots, and I'm up for activities or exploring your town! If you like literature, let me know your favorite genre and I'll bring you my favorite book from it :)
