Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My first experience surfing was this past November (2013) in Peru! I also surfed in New Haven, CT with my younger brother while taking him on a college tour. The hosts were wonderful! I've only hosted once and that was a good time too! I have two other housemates who also have visitors, so I cannot host surfers as often, but hopefully can when the time is right!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Not super amazing, but I learned how to ride a bike at age 21 (yes, a late bloomer in the biking world) and commuted in DC every day when I lived there for almost 3 years! Many people who have biked for years are even too afraid to city bike… Some amazing things I've seen: live births in Mongolia, sunrises, sunset in Santorini, people in love
Teach, Learn, Share
I once taught English in Vietnam and tennis to kids, and am open to sharing any other skills/talents of mine that you find interesting! We can be running buddies, or experimenters in the kitchen with delicious recipes! I also love to dance (salsa, swing, contra, ballroom, hip hop, etc.)
What I Can Share With Hosts
A good time
My Interests
As a dedicated foodie, I thoroughly enjoy creative cooking and baking, as well as trying different local restaurants with friends. When not indulging in delicious food, I can be found riding my bike, playing tennis, running, dancing, karaoking, listening to live music, and meeting new people.
