CURRENT MISSION

I am still pretty young, so I guess my mission is still in development. For now I would say it is never passing up an opportunity to grow and learn.

ABOUT ME

I am an American spending a year living and working as an AuPair in Cologne, Germany in order to experience new culture, travel as many places as I can, and experience life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am pretty new to Couchsurfing! A friend and I couch surfed in Copenhagen in Dec and it was pretty great, so I would love to keep doing it! And eventually when I have my own place again I would love to host.

Interests

I love the theater, reading classic literature, playing sports, hiking, visiting historical places and museums, and music.

And dogs. I really love dogs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love old movies and period films.
For music, I listen to just about everything.
Books- I read a lot, but my favorite is classic literature, especially the French: Hugo, de Balzac, Verne, Dumas, Flaubert

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying the night in an Ice Hotel in the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an American who has lived in different parts of the US, and now I am living in Germany, so I have an interesting cultural perspective. And a lot of enthusiasm to learn about their culture. If I am there, I want to learn about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories of my travels; discussions on most any topic, but especially arts, history, and society; delicious garlic filled food; book recommendations; Show tunes!
