I love adventures, big and small. I am a teacher, so my free time is mostly limited to the weekends. If you contact me in advance, I can arrange to be available after school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am trying to continue to improve my German. I'm proficient but I know I make a lot of mistakes.

Interests

During my free time I follow the Bundesliga's Borussia Dortmund and listen to the games on their website. In the summer I listen for what's going on with Die Mannschaft and USMNT. I enjoy watching games of any sport live with friends as well!

I like being an active individual. I currently go to a Crossfit gym two or three times a week. I don't have a lot of coordination for a lot of sports, but I like to have a laugh and try my best!

I studied a lot of art in college and can talk your ear off about art history if you like. Otherwise, I will keep it to myself unless you ask! I also enjoy music, whether it's jazz, classical, or pop music... if it has a catchy tune, I will listen to it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad for seven months in Germany. It was a great way for me to become more extroverted and put some faith in humanity. It's a humbling, yet empowering experience to have to ask a stranger for help in your non-native language! I have seen a majority of German cities and spent a lot of the time in the Ruhrgebiet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what this section means...
Teach: English, German basics, Art
Learn: Conversational German, but I'm open to learning about almost anything.
Share: Art, Football (soccer), Cooking, American Culture, Traveling Experiences, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a home cooked meal as well as experiences that I have had in Germany. I am more than happy to work on German, since I'm always looking to practice!
