Hi! I love traveling and meeting new people. Although I'm shy at first, I really do like people and want to break out of my shell. I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring the beauty of nature.
I work with children with mental health issues. I love it even though it can be stressful!
I try to live a healthy life. I do yoga a few times a week and workout occasionally. I'm a vegetarian.
My goal is to take a year or two to travel abroad and then go to graduate school, but I'm pretty nervous about it all.
Currently I'm an au pair in Canberra, Australia! I'll be working here at least until May. Then, I'd like to travel around Australia, new Zealand, and japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled a bit with friends but am just beginning to travel solo. I think that couchsurfing will be helpful for me to feel more comfortable traveling by myself. It will help me learn about the places I'm traveling to and hopefully save me from feeling isolated.
I would love to host others but I'm currently living with a host family. Someday when I live in a bigger city, I will definitely host.

Teaching kids to talk!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about behavior modification and dying hair (personal experience doing my own hair and friends' hair unnatural colors) xD
I love to learn just about anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Semi decent vegetarian cooking, you'd have to ask though because I'm shy about just randomly cooking for people. Can dye hair fun colors if you're brave xD
