Hello! First of all, I consider myself to be a total dork and don't take myself too seriously. I'm great at leading and organizing activities, but I'm completely able to roll with whatever happens. I love being out in nature and walking around a new place.
I like to find the little things in life, which make things just a little bit better in some inexplicable way. Bubbles, running down a big hill, cooking, and dancing ridiculously in the middle of a public area are possibilities. I like to laugh and be active and be imaginative and be optimistic. At the same time, I love to hear other people's thoughts and unique perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives me more time with people because I am somewhat shy at first, but I love sharing stories and conversation after I've opened up.

Interests

I connect to a culture through food, so whether we cook together or you offer some suggestions for places to eat, good food is something I'm really interested in.
Dancing is also something that fascinates me, even though I don't get to do it as often as I'd like.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: The Who, Twenty One Pilots, LP, Cro, Foo Fighters... The list goes on!

Books: Inheritance series (Eragon), Harry Potter, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, No Country for Old Men

*I'm always looking for new suggestions! It's easy to get stuck in a rut, but I'd like to diversify what I listen to. If you have suggestions for music from your home country, PLEASE let me know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For two summers, I was paid to zip-line and tell cheesy jokes. It was awesome!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you some cheesy jokes and we can play card games! I can share American recipes or simply help out in the kitchen and with chores around the house. Let me know how I can help and I'd be happy to do it!
I have studied several forms of martial arts for 8 years, so I can teach basic self-defense to you.
