My name is Vivin and I am from central Illinois but currently live in Nashville! I love to travel and I think meeting people in different places is the best part about it! I currently work for a nonprofit that serves refugees and immigrants in the U.S., so in a sense I have applied my passions to my career. :) I have been eager to try couchsurfing for a long time and I hope to meet great individuals around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our worldview is continuously expanded through interactions with others. Traveling allows you to see other places but you cannot truly understand the culture of a city or country until you have communicated with those who live there. Couchsurfing allows me to travel like a native!

Interests

I love exploring and traveling, meeting new people, spending time with friends, and trying new types of food. I am a yoga lover and always down for outdoor activities.

Music, Movies, and Books

Electro, folk, indie. My recent favorite book is Between the World and Me. More of a fan of TV series but I enjoy a lot of movies as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one summer volunteering in rural India as an English Teacher and it was a life-changing experience. I met so many wonderful people who had the idea of helping others in mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think there is something worth learning from everyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a respectful and clean guest and I will follow the house rules when surfing. I would love to get to know my hosts and spend time with them if our schedules are compatible.
