I have a fierce love for learning and love meeting new people to get different perspectives on the world. Although, I'm personally non-religious, I still like to learn about world religions. If you're not shy about it, lets talk about your faith or spirituality! I'm also very interested in politics, psychology, and philosophy.

I have worked a variety of jobs including : working at Target, working for DMG (a door to door sales company), hr, working at a Bath and Body Works, a variety of jobs at a hotel, fast food, and working as a Direct Support Professional helping teens with disabilities. Each of them offered their own unique experience. Unfortunately, I seem to spend my money on food as fast as I earn it! Right now I'm hoping my travels give me some insight into what I may want to do with my life.

I think my tumblr describes my personality better than I could in a few paragraphs: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/lets-life-is-strange

INTP, Ravenclaw, House Targaryen (ten points if you understand those references)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

See above. Also, I love experiencing new things and I think there would be nothing better than experiencing the culture, music, customs, and food from different places around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Succeeded in college, despite an ever fluctuating level of motivation? I also helped my High School X-C team compete at All States. If you're into running at all, I wouldn't mind talking about that.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're into psychology, philosophy, or politics, we could discuss some issues from those fields. But if you're looking for someone to teach you how to cook....I'm still learning myself.

I've always wanted to learn how to play a musical instrument too, so learning the basics of one would be amazing too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences from living in New England and Omaha and my stories from traveling.

My knowledge about politics and psychology.
