About Me

Hello! I'm a current university student with a passion for anything nature-related, artistic, and cultural, really anything that can expand my understanding of the world! I love meeting new people and traveling isn’t a hobby for me anymore—it’s really a way of life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet more people from all over the world as well as experience new cities and cultures. I am originally from the US but I have been in the UK for awhile at a very international university and I just absolutely learning about new cultures and ideas, and peoples' unique experiences and stories. :)
For me, I think a big thing I have taken away from traveling is the friendships I have made and all I have learned about different ways of life, so that’s really why I am on this!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music movies and books! Mainly for music it's pretty scattered but I listen to a lot of alternative, electronic and I love listening to music in other languages! In terms of movies my favourite is the documentary Grounded (check it out if you can, it’s life changing!)! As for books I love all kinds but one of my all time favorites is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked on a language app in Estonia!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share all kinds of crazy stories as well as learn from others! I'm really looking to learn as much as I can and I know how much there is to learn from others!

But in terms of practical stuff: I have taught many people about debating, sustainability, gardening, writing, leadership, and creating campaigns for change. But additionally I can teach a lot about running, healthy eating and personal growth.

I love to share but equally (if not moreso) I love to learn, there is so much to learn from others and I’d love to share with you!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my positive attitude, life experiences, and all kinds of things! I know how to garden and do house and yard work so I can help with practical things as well as have some amazing conversations!
