My name is Grace. I live in Indianapolis, but I was living in Munich for some time before! My hobbies include swimming, hiking, walking, and learning. If you can tell me the history of a place, you will be my favorite person. Most of my life has been spent helping people and volunteering my time to make the world a better place. I am one of 6 children, so I am accustomed to sharing rooms and spaces with people. In university, I studied German, International Studies, and teaching English as a second language. I’m now a high school teacher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on couch surfer because I am a young traveler who is searching an immersive travel experience. I wish to learn and grow through my travels and be more of a resident than a tourist. I also love to meet new people, joke around, and make friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love punk music, hip hop, rock. I like to support my local artists by buying music in the forms of vinyls and tapes. I like to read nonfiction, mainly biographies. I also enjoy early german philosophy. I am a huge fan of foreign films specifically French and German. I’ve recently begun to enjoy cult classics as well. I wish to learn and grow through my travels and be more of a resident than a tourist.
