I am a nomad at heart. I've moved all around the US and after finishing college, backpacked around the country. My next venture is Europe and from there, home to California to spend some much needed time with family. I have a Bachelors Degree in Sociology and Spanish from Roanoke College.
I'm very easy going and flexible. I'm always down for an adventure. I will try practically anything once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the concept of meeting locals and sharing a cultural exchange. Couchsurfing has enriched all of my traveling experiences and introduced me to some of the loveliest, most genuine people I know. In the event that I ever settle down, I would love to open my home to people as well. Hospitality is huge to me!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach English, cooking, sushi making, basic guitar skills, and how to travel for cheap!
Learn: I would love to learn your language, or practically anything you'd like to teach me.
Share: I can share my stories and my food! That's usually about all I have with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to help around the house, I'm a pretty good cook and love making food for people. I am a decent teacher if there's anything you'd like to learn from me (I have professional experience teaching English!)
