I love going on adventures, and I have a passion for honesty and making new experiences.
I love to cook at home, and be surrounded by friendly people. I want people to feel comfortable and happy to spend their time with me.
Basically, I want to understand the world better, be it through language, culture, or anything else that makes people feel united and unique. I want to explore the world as best I can.

Intelligence and understanding can bring people together more than anything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy talking to people and learning about their city in a way that a guided tour would not provide. Where's a great bread shop? What's the easiest way to get around? Who knows a local drink we can try? The daily life details of each city are what make my experiences interesting and worth while.

Interests

I love modern and classical art, jazz music, theater, dancing, trying new foods, being vegetarian, going to festivals, having drinks with friends, and discovering the things that make your city unique.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left home to live by myself in Europe. It's the first time I've lived out of my hometown, and my first time out of the U.S. in general. It's hard to believe this is really happening to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to sew, and I am fluent in English. I can also draw and paint and cook. I know some about modern theater and art, if that's something you're interested in. I'm happy to talk about and teach people as much as I can about these things, if they have interest.
