About Me

I love adventures, meeting new people, drinking delicious wine, and I'm always down to try new things! I just left on a small Europe trip visiting friends I have made on past trips, and I was hoping to make new friends as well!

I am pretty new to CS so I accidentally had my profile set to "accepting guests" and I didn't decline requests correctly.. hence the 0% response rate, but I'm figuring it out little by little :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I graduated from university in Sacramento and seeing as I've never really been able to learn from the classroom I decided to go out into the world to get some first hand experience. Who better to learn from than the people who live in the countries I am visiting? I was told about this site from my boyfriend and at first I was unsure about it, but then we went to a few meet-ups in Stockholm when we first started our trip and I realized that everyone has the same goals; to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds.

I can not wait to start hosting once I've come home from this trip!

Interests

My love for dance knows no bounds! I started with ballet when I was a kid, then I proceeded to learn traditional Greek dance. Since then I have fallen in love with Hip Hop. I will always bust a move to good music; and if you ever have trouble finding me, look on the dance floor!

Music is a big part of my love for dance. I am pretty obsessed with electronic music, though I like music of all kinds.

Photography is another one of my interests. I graduated with a degree in it and on my last trip I discovered my love for Dive Photography. With every new trip I find new and inspiring things/people to photograph!

I love wine and im always down for a good margarita, enough said.

TV Shows: Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Arrow, Avatar the Last Airbender.

Books: Harry Potter series, and the first two chapters of my college text books. I wish I read more.. but I always end up falling asleep whenever I try.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to follow my dreams of Backpacking :D

Call me in a year, I'm sure the list will be longer!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn about the places I am visiting from the people who live there, so I can get a unique experience.
I would LOVE to learn how to cook food from different cultures!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always wiling to share some of the hip hop moves I know, some laughs, good company and conversation. And if nothing else, a smile and a hug :)
