I'm learning to explore everything now, trying new things to say I have. I've been through a lot, and would never wish what I've gone through on anyone, but I'm quite an adapter to situations because of it. I like helping people, meeting new people, having fun, and learning new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am just finishing my teaching certification, and want to travel while I can before I land a job. I've barely ever left the east coast, and would like to change that. Exploring new places, trying to decide where I'd like to move (I want to leave New Jersey and never look back) and try to explore to decide where I like best.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music: classical of all sorts, rock, musicals, choral pieces. Anything pretty that I can sing comfortably to
Favorite movies, too many, but a few favorites: The Fall, Memoirs of a Geisha, Stranger Than Fiction, Pride and Prejudice, Finding Nemo, and more!
Books: I have absolutely too many, especially being an English major and teacher. Rereading favorites, and falling in love all over again though, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, The Harry Potter Series (you absolutely cannot pick just one), Othello

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived hundreds of lives through books, and still find it thrilling to open a new one to live another.
I have broken the same foot in the same place 3 times, by simply walking.
I'm amazingly indecisive when sharing information with new people.

What I Can Share with Hosts
