Hello there! I'm a veterinary student in California interested in travel, science, open mindedness, and new experiences. I'm currently researching wild seals at University College Dublin for the summer and am hoping to get to know Ireland and Irish people while I'm here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love seeing places from the perspective of a local and meeting new people with different experiences. I hope I can make new friends internationally and reciprocate their generosity.

Interests

I love animals, science, traveling, good beer, and humor. Favorite sports/activities are soccer, volleyball, water sports, hiking, and laying on the beach. I love new places and people and learning new languages. My kind of people are laid back, can have a good time, and like getting outside and being adventurous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, Spanish, Math, Science, writing in English, soccer/other sports. I was an anatomy TA in college if you happen to be curious about that subject. I would like to learn new languages (especially German) and upkeep my Spanish speaking skills. I would love hosts to share their city and favorite foods!

What I Can Share with Hosts

In addition to teaching the above subjects: I am a decent cook and can clean to earn my stay as well. I can teach you my favorite American family recipes and Chinese recipes I've learned while living for 3 months in China. I can bring gifts/food from China as I am here until May!
