Overview
About Me
I really love discussing books and movies, as well as favorite places/dream vacation destinations. I recently finished two Master's Degrees, and am currently working in International Human Resources, which has been a dream come true! I absolutely love learning about new cultures and people!
I love dancing, karaoke, board games, and exploring new places, as well as quiet evenings at home with a book. I LOVE dogs, and my New Year's resolution is to adopt a dog from a nearby shelter.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think there is a huge advantage to learning more about an area I'm visiting from someone who actually lives there vs. using the webs (which is also good). I love making new friends as well, especially people I never would have otherwise met!

Teach, Learn, Share
I like teaching about business concepts from school and what I know about other cultures. I also like to teach/share my sweet dance moves.
I love learning about anything and everything (I am working on Spanish and German, I just got some anatomy and physiology flash cards to learn that, really anything).
I love sharing about life experiences (worst dates, most embarrassing moments, fondest memories, etc.) because those are great ways to get to know who people truly are!
