Hello!

I am a 20 year old female who is currently trying to find myself not only as a person, but in finding as many ways to live a fulfilled life which includes travel to key places that I find amazing. I attended Wayne State University, and transferred to Oakland University (both in Michigan in the USA), and am going for Education with majors in Integrated sciences and TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language). I am not only looking to travel, but to also find a place that I fall in love with and can live when I graduate University with a degree, as TEFL has many opportunities and open doors which will allow me to do this. The main place I would like to go is Japan, and for many reasons which I'd love to share and see for myself. I would love to stay/visit in Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka, and somewhere along Mt. Fuji, so hopefully if you are in any of these areas you can help me with advice or we can visit together and I'd be more than willing to experience your lifestyle, as well as the Japanese culture in which I am so in love with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do not want to participate in a study abroad program that is short, or that I feel limits me on my journey. I am on here because I want to experience and appreciate the real culture by going on my own to Japan, and staying with those who are willing to share it with me and show me around or simply allow me a place to stay and/or provide helpful tips on my journey.

Interests

I am very well rounded, and have already been to many places around the USA which have each shown me different things and have given me many stories. I'd love to share them with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to more than 1,000 US cities and places. I also founded a student organization at my university called the Healthy Living Club, and I have taught yoga to over 200 people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can assist in teaching about core subjects such as science, math, and US/European history, as well as share my knowledge of art and music. I would like to learn absolutely anything and as much as I can so I can have it for myself, but also write about my experiences to come/share with the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything! I am very much an open book, and would love to talk, tell stories, and show you pictures of what I have done and how I have grown up along with much more.
