The most amazing thing I've done was on January 28th, 2015 when I stepped out of my comfort zone, left my family and friends behind -- the world I knew best -- to go abroad.

Well, since teaching English is my desired career, I'd be more than happy to help with conversational English. I'd also be more than happy to share my knowledge and passion for history. In return, I want to improve my German speaking skills.

I can share a piece of Canada, my heritage. I thank my potential hosts for their hospitality and, in turn, I'd be willing to give back in any way I can. I thought I was able to post references myself on the Couchsuring website, so I had my friends email me a reference. Here they are below: I'm delighted to be writing a personal reference for Deanna Proach. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Deanna for the last five years, both as a friend and as a colleague at Driftwood Players Story Theatre, a community theatre troupe on the Sunshine Coast. Deanna and I both joined the troupe in 2010, as new actors. I've since come to know Deanna as an intelligent, creative, kind, and reliable person. She quickly expanded her input within the group, becoming one of our troupe writers. She gets along well with others, and is very reliable in her commitments. She is a motivated individual, I've admired how she pursues her dreams head-on. I've enjoyed coming to know Deanna, her passion and intelligence are inspiring.
