About Me

For the past 2 years, I've been traveling around Europe and working as an Au Pair. I love checking out new cities and meeting people in the process. I have been told that I could even become friends with a spoon if I tried hard enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have pretty much been CS the whole time I have been abroad, but just finding places through mutual friends and or family members. It is such a great experience to meet locals and really see the area you are visiting through their eyes, not the typical "touristy" view.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all types of music ... except country.

I am a huge Quentin Tarintino movie fan and obsessed with "The Office" US version.

I am a little nerdy as well and will always hold the "Harry Potter" series close to my heart :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Becoming an Au Pair. When you are working for a family, living in their home and trying to make new friends, it is a lot of pressure and hard to adapt. The best thing is adapting though and living through the incredible experiences that you get everyday.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: acceptance

Learn: as many languages as possible

Share: food :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know my way around the kitchen and can cook a mean dinner.
Also, I love to learn/talk so if you want to talk, it'll be hard to shut me up.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Spain, Switzerland
