I was raised in New Jersey with 5 siblings. I lived in Philadelphia for a few years during college but am back in NJ now. I am notoriously bad at other languages. I will try though!
I have a BFA in Illustration and an Associates of Business Management in Entrepreneurship. I want to teach Art. I have been working as a nanny of two young children and substitute teacher as well as freelancing when I can. However, I am taking a break from life and going on an adventure! I am so excited and cannot wait for all the new experiences!!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I will be traveling this February to May and I have heard great things about this site. I have wanted to travel for years but there is always some excuse. This time I am ignoring all excuses and going for it!! I am told this site is a great way to get some understanding of your destination's culture as well as a good way of meeting people. So it seems logical to utilize CS because I love meeting new people and want to learn as much about the places I am traveling to.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I like all genres of music but find I listen to more Rock, Oldies, and Country.

My favorite movie genre is comedy/action. I have a lot of favorite movies including; The Fall (2006 film), Bruce Willis films, Secondhand Lions, Braveheart, PS I Love You, etc.

I am still reading the Game of Thrones series at the moment (on book 5).. haven't had time lately for reading though.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I went cliff jumping! What makes this amazing is I have a fear of heights.. I was terrified but felt proud that I faced a fear afterwards.
