About Me

I'm the type of person who will stop to ask everyone on the street with a dog if I can pet their dog. Will definitely almost always be dancing, even when there is no music. I'm a huge nerd and I love learning, mostly about science, but I love to listen to people talk about whatever they are most passionate about. I graduated from university recently and I studied wildlife conservation biology and evolutionary anthropology. The plan is to save the world, die a legend.

I've been dancing for over a decade, and I taught at a studio when I was in school. I love dancing because people from completely different backgrounds/languages/countries can communicate without words, and make a connection with each other by sharing a dance. I also love food, eating and sharing recipes and cooking together. I have a huge sweet tooth. What's your favorite dessert? Mine is cake. I love cake.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people and make memories and good friends. Traveling to see sights is not very fulfilling, I would much rather get to know the people of the country and know about their experiences.

Someday when I have my own place I hope to host people from all over the world. Right now I do not have permanent residence because I have to travel a lot work
