Hi! I'm a twenty-year-old from Portland, Oregon currently studying abroad in Copenhagen! I love to read, travel (of course!), walk around cities, knit, draw, bake, and spend time outdoors. I'm a very cheerful and enthusiastic person. I love to be around people, although I may be a little quiet at first. And sorry, but I'm not really a drinker (people always seem so disappointed...). But I am still very friendly and wanting to chat! :) I love hearing about people's experiences and their cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling alone can get lonely; staying with locals offers both a great insider perspective and also someone to chat with in the evenings. And studying abroad for a year is expensive! I need a cheap way to travel while I'm so close to everything here in Denmark :)

Interests

I'm a 70-year old at heart. I love reading, farmers' markets, knitting, cooking/baking, art, walking/biking. I try not to use my phone/computer/tv often so that I can connect with people :)

Regarding music and movies, I tend to like whatever's playing :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living for a year in Copenhagen! Or seeing herds of wild zebras running next to the road in South Africa. Getting an amoeba in Nicaragua! Even the things that sound uninteresting listed on this profile were amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a pro crafter :) Nerdy but true. I can help you with art/DIY projects, fixing things, cooking/baking...

What I Can Share with Hosts

An interesting perspective from having gotten an inside glimpse at both Denmark and the US, two very different cultures.
Also, I'm new to Couchsurfing but I usually use Workaway, where you have to work 4-5 hours a day for food and a bed, so you know I'll be clean and helpful!
