I absolutely love traveling and am always up for an exciting adventure. I spent a semester in England in 2009 and can't wait to go back. I have also been to Spain, Canada, Mexico, France, Greece, Italy, and the Canary Islands. I love sports, music, language, art, religious discussions, and meeting people that are totally different from me.

PHILOSOPHY

I have always depended on the kindness of strangers. -A Streetcar Named Desire

This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. - Polonius, Hamlet

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. -€œBarack Obama

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CouchSurfing when I lived in London and had a great time traveling, meeting new people and learning about the CouchSurfing spirit. I just moved to a new city and I'm excited to start hosting again! I also try to participate by going to local events and hanging out with Surfers as they travel through STL.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in Greece and I had the time of my life! I love the idea of meeting people from other cultures and opening your home to travelers. I was lucky enough to meet people from three different countries over a period of two days, and we all had a blast together. I haven't hosted much, but I've surfed a bit here in the States, and I'm making a conscious effort to be more active in local meetings and hangouts.

Algo increíble que he hecho

When I Surfed in Greece, my friend and I went exploring on a beach in Crete. It was her first time swimming in an ocean, and we went cliff-diving!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I could talk about theatre and rugby all day long. I also love cooking! I've been a vegetarian for about 6 years and enjoy finding new recipes and trying different things.

I work in theatre, but I've always had a passion for athletics too. I played all kinds of sports growing up, and I spent two summers in college working at a camp coaching soccer and gymnastics. One of my proudest moments was when a camper I worked with finally mastered a back-handspring!

If anyone out there has the knowledge and patience to teach guitar to a lefty, we should be friends.
