Hello! My name is Maggie and I am an American from Chicago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m looking to connect with locals and fellow travelers.

Interests

I love to knit, read, and learn about other countries and cultures. I’ve been traveling for the past several months and have been volunteering through workaways. In the past I worked on a fishing boat in Scotland, with sled dogs in Finland, on a rice farm in Malaysia, on a sheep cheese farm in Austria, and I stayed in a Buddhist monastery in Taiwan. I’m very interested in sustainability and agriculture and will be attending school in the fall to study it. I’m currently trying to learn the German language. I love animals and thoroughly enjoy spending time outside. I love to go for long walks/hikes and explore the surroundings of wherever I may be!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to bake and cook and would love to share some of my favorite recipes! I make a very good banana bread.
