I am a political science student in the United States who is spending this semester in Brussels. I can speak French well enough to get by and am always looking to improve my spoken French. I grew up in Ohio but spend a lot of time with my family in Hawaii.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel to many places, but to be able to interact with people who live there, not just the tourists.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is Harry Potter because it was the first series I read as a kid, and who wouldn't want to fly. I am not picky about music except for country music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played soccer for the United States.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I have much more to learn than I do teach, but I always enjoy sharing recipes in the kitchen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture, both from the mainland of the US and Hawaii. Also, can share Italian recipes that I know how to cook.
