CURRENT MISSION

I am a lifelong student looking to expand my vocabulary and experiences.

ABOUT ME

I hope to one day be fluent in French, Spanish and German and would greatly appreciate some help along the way, which is one of the biggest reasons I am really on here. Of course I could rent a room for the night at some hostel or hotel, but I could learn so much more by interacting with all of you friendly people!

I absolutely adore the feilds of Anthropolgy and Psychology. The human mind and behavior fascinates me. And even more interesting is how we interact with each other. I love to learn about culture especially through art, food, and religion. I am also a ceramicist and thoroughly enjoy mixed media sculpture.

PHILOSOPHY

When it comes to food, I will try anything two or three times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I aim to meet new people, gain new experiences, learn about other cultures and myself. I just found out about this site right before leaving for Europe so I do not have much experience hosting outside of my own personal friends, though when I get back home I will be eager to see who comes my way.
