Hello there! I'm Rita Gehman (pron. GAY'-min) and I'm a Writer and a YouTuber!

If you or your fellow travelers/couchsurfers would like to be in one of my video, Just Ask Me! I'd be happy to include everybody!!! :)

I love people, I love traveling, I love learning new languages, and I love writing, drawing, painting, making videos, crocheting/sewing, and all other creative activities!!!

I'd love to hear from you! <3

~Love, Rita

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling and learning new languages...... and not paying thousands of dollars for a hotel..... all good stuff to me!

Interests

I'm a creative girl, and I love taking in new and interesting things, and creating new pieces of art or originality or just plain old common sense!

I'm a big reader, so if you love reading, show me your favorite books!

I also am a big foodie, and I love eating out! And I love to cook and eat your custom cooking, as well!

I can help improve your English. I can teach you to draw, crochet, sew, paint, and I can show you many amazing things in this city! <3
