I'm young with an old soul and a weathered heart. I've lived all over the country, moved so many times that I long ago released any fear of change. IF I am adding you as a friend on here and we haven't yet met, it means I am either in your city or about to arrive in your city and I want to meet you but have run out of "initiate conversation" credit on Couchsurfing! PLEASE send me a message so we can chat! :)
Interested in Dancing
Interested in Environmentalism
Fluent in English
Learning Arabic (Morocco)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
"We need to be there for one another, because that's all we have on this earth; each other." I have been on Couchsurfing a year, I have stayed with several hosts so far, and they have all been wonderful experiences! I come to the Couchsurfing community whenever I am going to travel, hoping to discover a host who will become not just a new travel connection but a new friend. I'm also eager to soon have my own place so I can eventually begin hosting!
Music, Movies, and Books
This list could go on forever, so I'll just put my faves. MUSIC Band: Vampire Weekend Song: Don't Ask Me Why - Great Caesar Singer: Melody Gardot MOVIES Feature: The Others Series: Harry Potter Pixar: The Incredibles Other Animated: Emperor's New Groove Short: Paperman BOOKS One-Hit Wonder: The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry Series: Anne of Greene Gables Children's: Eloise
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I ride dressage now, but my first bonding experience with horseback riding was on a volcano. We rode for hours through fog, up a slowly increasing incline, and then tied up the horses and clambered to the edge of the massive crater. It was like an extraterrestrial experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
TEACH Any of my languages! Spanish, French, English, ASL. Dance! Rowing, both how to row and how the sport works! Music theory! How to work out, based on your body! LEARN Pretty much anything. I'm always wanting to learn more languages. I really need to learn how to cook something more impressive than a fried egg. It's always important to me to learn about the genuine experience of the area that I'm visiting, as well as the history. SHARE Stories, advice, music, and many more.
What I Can Share With Hosts
An interested, listening ear and insight to follow...or a plethora of high-drama, real-life stories! Depends whether you prefer to listen or be listened to. I also love to work in the kitchen, if you want to try making something as a team.
My Interests
TRAVEL obviously, otherwise why would I be part of this community? Languages Ballroom dance The beach Sailing Rowing Dark chocolate A hundred more!
