About Me

My husband and I are laid back travelers from the US. We love meeting new people, which is why we like Airbnb and hostels, and I love languages. Looking forward to trying couch surfing and hosting folks when we get home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love travel and cultural exchange, plus we love showing around our own areas. We are laid-back friendly folks who love to talk, cook, play board games and cards, hike and adventure. We eat pretty much anything and love to make new friends and see new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many books! I read a great deal, so I'm always into something interesting. I think my current favorite book is actually "How to Win Friends and Influence People", but for fiction I really loved "The Count of Monte Cristo". I've read most of the classics and enjoy sarcastic banter about them, if you're into that.

Music- husband and I are musicians, so we like a wide variety and can also nerd out about that for days. Lately I've been really into Pink Floyd, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, Radiohead, Abandoned Pools, and Heron Oblivion, though I have a strong classical background and play a lot of Tchaikovski and Chopin.

Movies- I'm one of the biggest Robin Williams fans, so Hook and Aladdin are my favorites, but I also love Vertigo, Casablanca, V for Vendetta, and Howl's Moving Castle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last summer my husband and I got married. The summer before that we went on a 9200 mile road trip around the US with a friend and her two year old! This summer we're taking a late honeymoon and backpacking Europe for a few months :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to practice languages because I don't get the chance to do that at home, but I've been a teacher for years and really like tutoring things like math, music, and science. I will happily help you study any of the languages I'm studying and don't mind doing some IT work. I love playing piano and guitar and we can have a singalong if you have them at your place!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can promise you some guitar, piano, and singing, if you have those things. I can also happily make you a good meal or bake some bread or pastries! I love to cook and bake.
