About Me

Currently studying my second foreign language in Lüneburg, Germany with plans for a European backpacking trip this coming summer, then further plans to chaperone a high school service trip to India later in the summer and then after that I guess I will have to start looking for serious work.. Considering something in the field of hospitality or linguistics/education or animal welfare :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To become part of this community, hear the stories of others, take the opportunity to get tips from locals, make some great memories, and, well, the price is right!

Interests

Language learning, linguistics, cultural immersion and mindfulness, yoga, photography, healthy and wholesome food... animals, animal welfare, nature, changing the world... video gaming... soaking in the sun, listening to the rain.. Travel too obvious?

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, but who doesn't? I love how it can bring people together and how big a part it can be of any given culture. I LOVE dancing.
Watching movies, all genres, is definitely a favorite activity..
My top books, in no particular order, would have to be Ella Minnow Pea, Grendel, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter #SorryNotSorry

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate some termites in the Costa Rican rainforest when no one else was willing.. Which maybe doesn't sound amazing to everyone but it's a favorite memory, definitely something I'll never forget! Reminds me that I can literally do anything if I have the right mindset.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has different life stories, different experiences behind them, I think we can all gain a lot by taking the time to hear those of strangers, and to turn more strangers into friends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share nice conversation and maybe meals!
