CURRENT MISSION

try as much delicious local food and learn about as many different cultures as possible

ABOUT ME

After graduating from college, I backpacked for ten months. I went back to the United States for a job but a few months later was on the road again. I have a job now, and I try to squeeze in weekend trips whenever I can.

I am a huge nerd and love learning. I am interested in psychology, fitness, and current events. My favorite thing to learn about is language and culture.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could host me! I am respectful, neat, friendly, and (I think I'm) hilarious. I am not the best cook but love to cook with other people. I also enjoy helping out by cleaning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am excited to host surfers once I get my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am amazed at the generosity and warmth of people in this community.

My first host picked us up from the bus station and when we reached his place, he exclaimed, "Welcome home!" :) I have loved Couchsurfing in various countries and am always blown away by the kindness of Couchsurfers.

I was an au pair in The Hague, Netherlands and loved it!

In South Africa, I watched wild elephants play, bathe, and fight at a watering hole.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about different cultures.

I am not a great cook, but I am a good sous chef.

I can teach you some really nerdy English grammar songs.

I can also teach you random funny signs in American Sign Language.
