Hi! I'm a university student from the United States. I'm originally from rural Pennsylvania, but I now live in Washington DC. I'm a really relaxed person who loves seeing new things and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I originally wanted to travel by WWOOFing, but I found that I had a couple of extra days in between farms I wanted to visit. I thought I'd try out couch surfing, and explore some cities!

Interests

I love reading, running, going to museums, and most of all, eating! I also really enjoy just walking around cities and seeing what there is too see.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 17, I moved to Switzerland to be an exchange student. There, I learned to speak German, made a ton of new friends, and bonded really well with my host families. I'll always consider the relationships I formed there as one of my biggest successes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot about baking, especially about making bread, pies, and cookies. I am also very willing to speak English and German with anyone who would like to practice. I personally would really like to learn to speak Spanish. I've had some Spanish lessons in school, but I need to hear it and speak it more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can always share a smile! Also, I'm more than willing to help out around the house, or help cook or buy food.
