About Me

NOTE: I am not currently in Tbilisi and not accepting guests.

Originally from New York, I now live in Georgia. I love libraries, mountain trails, museums, and exploring cities, and I am open to trying new things.

I want to explore the world and seek out new experiences, so that I might learn new things, and push my limits. I especially love being in places where I can be surrounded by a new language or culture, because the change is always challenging and refreshing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people. Now that I've settled down in Tbilisi, I'm open to hosting people, but I do have a roommate, so please message me ahead of time to give me enough time to see if I can actually host you!

Interests

Linguistics, history, running, beautiful music or scenery, and various other things. Among those, of course, is travel! I want to explore the world which we all share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

El Camino de Santiago.

Teach, Learn, Share

Language and cooking. We can exchange language practice, or recipes; I am not necessarily the best cook, but I am learning! My degree is in Linguistics, and I am a TEFL certified English teacher, so if you need help with English especially, I would be glad to help. Even better if you can teach me something in return =)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, if you'd like to a language exchange, I would love to help out. Or maybe I can feed you some of my cooking! (It's horrible, but I am improving... really!)

Or just wine!
