im wild and spontaneous, love science and languages and billiards (im a pretty decent shot and would sleep on a pool table if i could), im responsible, trustworthy, honest to a fault. i believe strongly in karma so im constantly aware of doing unto others. i have stellar credit lol and am quirky and funny and goofy and just love a good time meeting other people and engaging in conversation. i reeeally really love learning languages and seek to improve my currently passable spanish. i thoroughly enjoy traveling alone because it affords me the opportunity to meet people and wander wherever, whenever. i love a challenge and love being able to navigate through a foreign land, figuring it out as i go. strangers ask me for help in foreign countries... 3 people in one day asked me for directions in london while i was wandering their beautiful city so i guess im friendly looking or at least look like i know what im doing? haha. im comfortable in my own skin. ill try any food once. im handy as hell and can fix things, yes i know how to change a tire and yes i can drive a manual car ;) i would love to be a carpentry apprentice or sailing skipper? what are they even called? lol regardless, i like learning, period. im courteous, kind and polite, but assertive. i tell it like it is and dont pull any punches but am a sweetheart... so im told! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

bc why not... NB: i slept under my sister's dormroom desk in germany so im not high-maintenance... is anyone on here really? but yeh, im extra low maintenance, not a pig but not a princess either. i am highly independent and don't need anything but a kind soul, but if you like to show me around and involve me in your day-to-day, i will more than welcome it.
