CURRENT MISSION

A new language is a new perspective on life :)

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone! My name is Rachel and I'm so excited to be able to take part in this travel community and be able to meet some really amazing people. I'm an outgoing, fun-loving person, who loves to experience new people and cultures as well as share my own. I try to take advantage of all opportunities presented to me and look forward to the ones I will find through couch surfing!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a story and it's everyone's job to listen to those stories. Beauty is not found in things or money but in relationships, people, and experiences. Love openly, live freely, laugh heartily and always ask that person to dance!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the entire concept of Couchsurfing is incredible. It is through travel and meeting new people that our world becomes smaller, we foster understanding and tolerance, and we bring everyone together. I have had so many life changing experiences through Couchsurfing and I am so grateful for the energy and ideals of this community. It's an amazing feeling to be a part of this and also to be able to give back to other members.

Interests

I love everything and anything to do with language, whether it be discussing colloquial slang or detailed linguistic theory, you will have my attention. :) I love to read, paint, watch films, play board games, and spend time outside. I love working out and being in nature. I'm always off running, hiking, or bike riding in any weather. I'm always up for a night on the town and love to hit up the dance clubs and the hole in the wall pubs with friends. I love to travel and meet new people and get to know their stories, culture, and language- come share yours with me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a flying lesson and flew over the coast of Maine.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a language teacher myself, it is a passion of mine to share the power of language and language learning. I would love to work on a language with you and/or learn yours! One thing I've always wanted to improve is my cooking skills. If you have a favorite recipe, bring it along!
