CURRENT MISSION

trying to figure out what my next step is

ABOUT ME

I graduated from University a couple of years ago with a major in theater but shortly after realized that I had no interest to do anything theater related. Partly due to a lack of direction and also because of my love of languages and culture I have spent the last four years working to save money so that I can travel to different parts of the world. I have spent a lot of time in Central and South America and now am on my way to India to get a taste of Asia. All and all, life has been very good to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My participation in couch surfing has been a bit spotty lately. I was just told about the groups section and am very excited to start!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed once and had a great time! I am hoping to use this site mostly to meet people and do language exchanges.

Interests

I love photography, eating, reading and dancing. I love the outdoors. I am always down for a good hike or camping! I am also a huge gardener and would love to have my own farm someday. If you love cooking or talking about food, let me know! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my best experiences was when I traveled in South America for 7 months in 2010. I left the US without a plan and have stumbled upon so many amazing opportunities. I have made great friends and discovered the beauty of the human race.

Teach, Learn, Share

Salsa dancing lessons are definately an option. I can also make some killer pancackes.
