I'm a student at Purdue in Environmental Engineering just looking to learn a bit more about the world. I'm really into the idea of living in a sustainable way (surprise, I know) and I'm always looking for new ways to do so! I'm originally from Ann Arbor, MI and love going on all sorts of adventures to meet new people and go new places. I've explored a lot of the U.S. and a decent bit of Canada, but my travel experience is pretty limited otherwise, which is something I'm trying to change as soon as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always looking to meet new people, learn new things and expand my perspective! I think the coolest way to experience a city is with the people who live there and know their way around. I love the idea of the sharing economy, but more than anything, the kind of people who are into it! I'm eager to explore the world and to show people around my part whenever I can.

Interests

I'm a huge fan of biking and love getting to know whatever area I'min by riding around as much as possible. Generally, I just enjoy the outdoors and especially like going backpacking, be it on foot, bike, or canoe. I recently started climbing, which is a blast and something I'm always eager to learn more about. I'm also enthusiastic about exploring new cultures and am hugely interested in foreign languages. I speak a decent amount of French and Spanish, and am working on learning Chinese all in hopes of one day doing some serious world exploration.

Teach, Learn, Share

I absolutely love learning and practicing foreign languages! I'm always eager to try my hand at speaking a language other than English and really enjoy teaching people what I can when it comes to the languages I've studied. I love hearing about the adventures other people have been on and the perspectives they've picked up along the way. I'm also always ready to listen to what people have to say about sustainable living and hear their take on it. In general, I just really enjoy sharing ideas, and all the better if it's in a foreign language!
