I'm currently a twenty-three year old au pair living in Dubai working for a Finnish/Dutch family. Previously I've lived in small-town Illinois (where I'm from) and Honolulu, Hawai'i (university). I'm trying to get out into the world and meet new people while learning about other cultures; I love seeing new ways of life and experiencing different ways of living. I'm hard-working, and (I think) fun to be around. Hopefully couchsurfing will help me achieve my many goals!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The Couchsurfing community is amazing and full of entirely unique, charitable individuals who always go out of their way to help people learn about the world. Everyone I've met on here has impacted me positively and I'd like to think I've helped others feel better about their journeys as well.

Interests

I'm interested in new languages, health, fitness, culture, history, education, and many other subjects.

• culture
• education
• fitness
• teaching
• history
• languages
• au-pair

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a favorite genre of music, movies, or books; but I am aspiring to read fifty-two books this year. Basically, I'm not incredibly picky when it comes to what I'll listen/watch and read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd like to say a lot of the things I've done in my life have felt amazing. I've nursed a baby tiger; moved halfway across the earth to Dubai, and more recently, traveled a bit of Europe and met the most wonderful people during my stay.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you need someone to help you learn English I'm your guy; I'm also good at a variety of others things like computer repair, maintenance, and health/fitness planning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully I can share with them a bit of the knowledge and culture I've picked up throughout my life. I'd also share with them my willingness to make my stay at their abode easier; I'm always willing to help in any way possible.
