Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm a free spirit looking to see more of the world in a unique way and meeting up and sharing with the people who most closely know the environment is the best way I can think of!
Music, Movies, and Books
Music- Almost anything with rhythm, from oldies to reggae to folk and foreign and everything in between! Movies- Independent films are the way to go for a good story that makes me think. Disney/Pixar are my comfort movies, they make me happy every time. Books- Cloud Atlas, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, anything by Vonnegut, Catch-22, Italo Calvino short stories... to name a few.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hiked Angel's Landing at Zion National Park by myself in order to conquer my fear of heights. It worked.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach English, I'd love to learn bits of any other language while travelling, and I can share anything you'd like.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Almost anything, hopefully a good laugh.
My Interests
Traveling, of course. I enjoy nature more than cities, but cities sometimes have a special, impressive quality as well. I also enjoy reading, writing, painting, hiking, climbing, roaming around. I love hearing stories and learning new things.
