Hi my name is Kierra Ivy (soon to be Kierra Asnauskas). I'm 26, engaged, and travel fanatic. I teach English in Afghanistan and I travel around the world in my free time, fiancé in tow. I'm a lover of languages, cultures, and WINE! I'm a published author, lazy blogger, and avid reader. I am the most out-going person you will ever meet. I love to have a good time, and I pride myself on being able to get along with just about anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet amazing people while we travel throughout the world. I've had tons of experience being a roommate and guest in someone's home and not to brag, but I am an awesome guest! And an awesome hostess when I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've seen was my mother giving birth to my youngest sister (scarred me for life, but it was the definition of "amazing") One amazing thing I've done is not kill my fiancé when he told me to "relax".

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, my culture, writing, and dancing. I'd love to learn any language, culture, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu-if possible. I'd love to share my experiences with you of what it's been like to live and teach abroad. I also have experience working on a cruise ship and would be happy to share that experience with anyone interested.

I can offer you great conversation, bottomless (your choice of drinks), home-cooked meals, karaoke partner, and overall long-lasting friendship.
