"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." -E.B. White

Leaving on September 7th for my first trip abroad. Currently accepting suggestions and tips!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I adore people. I have never met a person without an interesting story to tell, and CSing seems like such a great avenue to find those stories. While I am new to the experience, I'm loving every weird, awkward, joyful, connection-building moment of it so far.

Also because traveling is expensive (am I right?).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've molded the minds of our youth. No biggie.

Oh, and I've mastered a mean vegan "chicken" burger.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love help learning bits of any language, really. I can certainly help anyone practice English as well.

I dabble in the ukulele, so let's make simple music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook delicious food for people and play mediocre ukulele music, so either or both of those. I also contribute to general cleanliness (of course) and upkeep of places I stay.

And stories. Let's share some stories.
