Dear fellow Couchsurfers, welcome to my profile :)... Thank you for reading...

Aren't the first few hours in an entirely new city/country/place exhilarating?

I'm Sophia, and I am quite new to Couchsurfing. I enjoy finding out about the world, life, people, cultures, etc. through my own tangible experiences. Traveling is the "mechanism" that allows me to experience in this way... and of course, I love it. It is hard for me to remember what I ate in a day sometimes; however, I can replay vividly in my mind the moments where I have felt limitless and happy. These moments have, above all, been while I have been traveling and the people I've met along the way. :)

Recently, I have found a new interest in learning languages, as well as, teaching language. Therefore, I am teaching while traveling as a certified English language teacher. When I find myself back in the States, I look forward to opening my home to all :).

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I created an account in May 2018 after graduating from university. Throughout university and upon graduating, I realized my desire to travel and experience the world and all of its natural, cultural and diverse beauty with other like-minded people. I am ready for a new chapter in life, ready to keep participating in the sharing economy, and ready to open my home to others, as well!

Hoping to meet, speak with, and connect with others through Couchsurfing...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Rented a car, without any set plans, and drove through all of Spain and up through Portugal with a friend... hope to do it somewhere again!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I am open to sharing any knowledge of sustainable living, music, film photography, singing, the environment, organic gardening, yoga, and of course language exchange. I write a lot, and although this is a personal endeavor, it would be great to talk through writing as well!

I would love to learn more about playing instruments (learning guitar and remembering my keyboard/piano days...), philosophy, cooking styles, and what your hobbies/interests are...
