ABOUT ME

Easy going, friendly, adventurous, open.

I graduated with a Bachelors in Psychology but am taking time off to explore after working for a bit in the Social Work field. I want to eventually further my education in school , but for now I am enjoying learning through other methods such as traveling.

I am currently working as an Au Pair in Germany and would love to practice German as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with others and meet new people around the world. I'm ready to get out of this bubble I've been living in and I am ready to experience life, new cultures and new people.

I could rerun Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under, 24 and LOST for the rest of my life and probably perfectly content. But I also really like Parks & Rec, The Office, Community, Broad City, 30 Rock, Weeds, Shameless, Dexter and of course, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to stop living for others and live for myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love psychology and can always find interesting stories to share. I also consider myself to be a good listener and always willing to help out others and love learning about people.

Also, I make good playlists and danced for 16 years so I can bring the dance moves and share some new music with you!
