23, Preschool teacher by day and bartender by night. Eternal optimist. Enjoys: long conversation, genuine people, petting all the dogs, wandering aimlessly through new cities, cracking jokes, board games, and drinking! Born and raised in Northern Idaho but I have been living in Seattle for nearly six years now. I have spent the last month or so backpacking around Croatia, Italy, and Denmark. After this I plan on going through into Germany before finishing up in London on my way home. I am outgoing and social - I love to connect with people. I am not verified through PayPal as I just don't have the funds for it now that I am nearing the end of my trip- That being said Í have a vast social media presence. You can find me on Instagram or Snapchat under the username pockets1742 and here is a link to my Facebook profile - https://www.facebook.com/100004690004178

I would love to find hosts that enjoy going out with me or simply sharing their favorite local places to eat at, drink at, or simply just to see. I am clean, respectful, and try to be quiet whenever I am a guest in someone's home. I am progressive, accepting of all humans, and love to gain understanding through the sharing of new perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been backpacking for about a month and I love that Couchsurfing connects me with locals who want to show me around and share their beautiful cities with me. I have never hosted but I love the idea of helping out a fellow backpacker as well as bringing new people with worldly perspectives into my home to share my beautiful city with.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't watch a lot of movies but I love to read. Lately been really into anything by Paul Coelho. Music is a tall order as there's just so much that I love! Really into EDM, Hip Hop, and Jazz. Currently listening to a lot of Brasstracks, ZHU, and Russ but the list is simply too long to type out. Perhaps if we get together we can share musical tastes with each other. I'm an avid Harry Potter nerd as well as lover of anything written by John Green.
