Hey hey :) I'm Sam! I'm a mixed chick who is passionate about textiles, linguistics, dance, traveling and oh so much more. Aspiring polyglot, writer, dancer, costume enthusiast, socially-adjusted nerd and lover of life and other things. I'm a gab monster, and I never met a person I couldn't talk to. I also like the great outdoors, so catch me on the trail.

**PLEASE NOTE**: do not message me because you think I'm cute or want to hook up or any of that. This isn't Tinder. NOT looking for any of that, so please don't bother me if you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had my first CS experience 2 years ago on a cross-country road trip and it was just splendid. I loved it so much I thought, why not make this a regular thing! Or try to, anyway. I've been traveling around off the grid for a while, hence my abysmal reply rate (so sorry!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving with sharks was pretty killer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Spanish and French, so we can learn some thangs together. I love all languages, so if you speak some that I don't know (or one I do and we can practice!) then that would be just spectacular. I also love to dance, and can teach you to sew (so practical!).

What I Can Share with Hosts

One thing I can definitely share is some belly dance moves, if you're trying to learn some of those. Also a morbid sense of humor (if you think Mommie Dearest is a great comedy, then we will be fast friends). I have a whole bunch of random skills, sewing being my most polished so let's stitch n bitch!
