Currently exploring the east coast for the first time! I love history, politics, and anything to do with language. I grew up in the theater so I’m very creative: you can find me at the local cafe writing poetry or perusing the newest book. I love to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don’t want to have the typical tourist experience of staying in a hotel/hostel and just visiting tourist attractions. I really want to get to know the “soul” of a place, and that starts with he people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Move to Prague spontaneously to get my teaching license

Teach, Learn, Share

All of the above! If you need help with English or Spanish I really enjoy teaching that, if you can indulge me for an hour I’ll teach you some history too! I’d love to learn a bit of whatever language you speak, too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great conversation, food, coffee, someone to go for walks with, and a lifelong friend! (I also don’t mind doing a few household tasks)
