I'm a 28 year old kindergarten teacher living in Cologne Germany, happily married, and taking a bit of a detour from the mundane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am originally from the U.S., although I have traveled my whole life, and I miss tacos. I have been unable to leave Europe for nearly three years (workworkwork), and I am hoping that this website affords me the opportunity to experience some sunlight and chili peppers, and of course tacos. I am open-minded, adventurous, and ready to jump in a spring and celebrate the birthday of a fictional character from Winnie the Pooh. :D

Interests

Reading, swimming, writing, learning, languages, cultures, conversation, FOOD, partying, dancing, sunlight, sailing.

Equal parts yin and yang.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love mellow music, as well as classical. I don't really watch films... I love classical literature as well as historical fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have ran across silt flats in Alaska as fast as I could so I wouldn't sink. Fortunately I only lost a shoe before making it to a small rock plateau, where I spent the bright night alone watching the tide come in around me. It felt like my own private island.

What I Can Share with Hosts
