I grew up in a small town in the woods and now live in a small city on the beach in sunny Florida. I'm studying at a very small university in the state of Vermont, studying Geography and Religion, with the aim to someday be a pastor (we need more LGBT people in the church and people that care about the state of the world in order to make some change!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being in Ireland for a semester finally gives me an opportunity to travel for a little bit, and I thrive on social interactions, so I want to be able to meet people and learn about the countries I visit as I travel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studied in Russia for a summer!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m still fairly young, but geography and cartography fascinate me, so I can show you the basics of how to use mapping software, I can teach some fun and basic signs in American Sign Language, and can share some interesting, progressive thoughts on religion and spirituality!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A love of music, an appreciation for history and other cultures, and some fun signs in American Sign Language
