Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am hugely intrigued by other cultures, and would absolutely love to meet people who have lived in different countries to get their perspective on things.
Music, Movies, and Books
When I was little I read all of the Harry Potter books multiple times. I also loved Lord of the Rings. Probably my favorite scary movie/book is "The Girl with All of the Gifts". Biography: 'Three cups of tea". I highly recommend it. It is basically about this man named Greg Mortenson who tried to promote peace in Pakistan/Afghanistan by building schools in poorer communities.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can help with English if you would like.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share my past experiences as well as future aspirations.
My Interests
First and foremost I love trying all types of food, especially food that I am not familiar with. Whenever I travel I love to explore the whole in the wall places and just order random dishes. Next to that I lead a very active lifestyle. I love playing a wide range of sports, whether it be soccer, basketball, or volleyball. I also enjoy books on Psychology. I think the human brain is an incredible thing and I usually gravitate towards books that talk about it.
