CURRENT MISSION To experience life, meet new people, and to develop an open mind and heart :) ABOUT ME I lived in Germany until the age of 9, and since then have grown up in the beautiful city of Ithaca. I currently live with my father in a big house very close to one of Ithaca's most beautiful waterfalls (of which there are so many). I love traveling, and learning through experience. My passion is dancing. I grew up dancing classical ballet and was part of a small Ithaca based ballet company throughout my teens. Since then I have expanded, and now also enjoy modern dancing, social west african dancing, and partner dancing (especially social latin dancing). I LOVE music!! I believe every experience has its own soundtrack! PHILOSOPHY Every person has something to teach, and it is worth it to listen.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I spent 18 days couchsurfing and hitchhiking through Spain with my cousin. It was an amazing experience and has inspired me to host (and potentially surf) again on my own. I met so many beautiful people and learned so much!!!!
Music, Movies, and Books
I love to dance!!! All types, but especially latin. I play the violin, and listen to a lot of crazy random music like reggae, naija music, electro-pop, classical music, batchata, kizomba, hip-hop, R&B... whatever I'm in the mood for :D Books are pools of knowledge.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I spent half a year in Germany volunteering in Refugee camps.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I would love to share the beautiful Ithaca area with you! It is always helpful to have a local on your side to show you the special spots ;)
