About Me

I'm 21 years old and about to finish my final year of undergrad. I enjoy writing, exploring, and learning. I'm part of the boxing team at my college. I have a pet tarantula (a timid, tiny lad) named Ares as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and exploring new areas, and couch surfing is a great way to meet both those goals. Once I'm living somewhere consistently (late August/September) I hope to become a host as well.

Interests

I enjoy a wide variety of activities. One of the things I love most, however, is hearing about other people's nerdy passions. I find it's a spectacular way to get to know someone and learn more about something you may have known nothing about.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me:
-The basics of any foreign language I don't know. I love learning about the nuances of different languages in the world.
-A topic you're well informed about.

I can teach:
-Basics of Japanese and/or Hindi
-Writing workshops
-How to use Microsoft Powerpoint or Word

Learn:
I'm happy to learn about anything others find interesting, especially in the field of academics

Share:
-Interpretations of Greek mythology and some Turkish folklore.
-Stories from working at summer camp or traveling
-Slam poetry (I'm a huge fan of the art form and can introduce people to countless unique and thought-provoking pieces)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very good with kids and could babysit for evenings if the host(s) have children they'd need watched while they went out for an evening. I can share stories (real and fictional) for entertainment or any sort of conversation.
