I am living in Northern Indiana and working in the mental health field as a skills coach. I basically help people build skills to reach their goals. It’s an awesome line of work but it can be emotionally draining. I enjoy traveling to get away from it all. I'm a college grad, studied my first three years in southern Indiana at Indiana University and studied my last year abroad in Freiburg, Germany. My studies include both Psychology and German. I have hopes of continuing to live and study in Europe, and live sustainably. ♻️🌱✌🏻

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I want to meet different people and explore the world through the eyes of others.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I worked in Walt Disney World for a summer selling popcorn and soda and I wore many different costumes. It was definitely a cool experience, but I wouldn't do it again. I want to try as many things possible and see which one brings me the upmost joy. Working in Yellowstone National Park was amazing, solely because of the location. I loved being surrounded by nature, it makes me feel free and one with creation. I’ve also worked as a zip line tour guide and as a nanny in Germany!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share some things about American culture, or at least American Midwest culture and I enjoy having good conversations about life. I'm not the best cook, I'm vegan and would love to cook something up for you!! I enjoy talking about why I've vegan but only if you ask about it. If you're interested in learning some words in German I could teach you a little bit ;)
What I Can Share With Hosts
I have plenty of stories to share and open ears to listen. I wholly enjoy talking with others, hearing their stories, and making friends.
My Interests
I love to hike, see nature, learn about people and their beliefs about life. When visiting other places I want to do as the locals do. I love finding quaint coffee shops, searching for vegan eateries and just relaxing somewhere beautiful. I am an avid photographer and love animals. It's been such a life-changing experience already to be living in Europe and there's just so much more that I haven't explored!
