CURRENT MISSION

Soak up as much culture as possible while teaching abroad:)

ABOUT ME

I am a student of the universe who is taking advantage of the opportunities set out in front of her. I am very easy going and I try to be kind to everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I really enjoy getting to a new town and immediately knowing that I know at least one person who will show me the ropes and have coffee with me and be willing to share their background stories. Having the chance to see what places they've been through through their eyes because everybody's got a different perception of life and the way it should be lived. I like to think that the people that use couch surfing really value traveling as a vessel for communication and connection.

Interests

I like to travel and hear the stories of people around me and I also spend a little too much time watching Netflix. I love learning new languages and learning about other cultures as well. I am not the type of person to accuse others of being wrong, I believe that everyone comes from different backgrounds and experiences and so there are countless ways to see the world we live in. I love philosophy mostly because there is never a right answer to the world's deepest questions, some things are better left unanswered. Most days I work with kids, I appreciate their curiosity and their honesty, I hope to become a teacher one day. I should also mention that I'm really tall and I love it!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of bachata and R&B but I cannot say that there is a type of music that I hate(except for screamo....) I really enjoy reading as well, it leaves so much to the imagination. My favorite book is The Other Hand by Chris Cleaver. I like cheesy RomComs, anything starring Roberto Benigni, and most John Hughes films but my favorite movies are psychological thrillers(Shawshank Redemption, Memento, Rope.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the Grand Palace light up during the Christmas market in Brussels, Belgium

Volunteering in the Dominican Republic

While in Thailand I managed to literally fall through a roof and not have to visit the hospital:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am new to this site and so my intentions are to meet new people to share stories and experiences with. I am not wealthy but perhaps I could cook a meal or treat my host to dinner if possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open mind, a round of drinks, and an endless smile:D and depending on the location I can whip some things up to LOL
