I'm a 20 year old undergrad student in the chilly state of Alaska. I love getting outside, learning new things, and having good talks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning more about culture and the way people live throughout the world. I'm looking forward to exchanging experiences and meeting new people.

Interests

Hiking, good coffee, acroyoga, sports, reading, circus arts, school, biking everywhere, good conversation, playing cello, books

I've worked as a barista for three years and love to nerd out over coffee and tea

I'm learning Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai. In another life I would have already ran away to join the circus

I like to do just about anything outside

Lately I've been developing an obsession with noodles

I nearly forgot! I love languages, but it took me a while to figure it out. I've been working on Japanese and recently started learning Chinese

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the Miracle Pine Tree in Rikuzentakata and had a homestay in the Kanagawa Prefecture.

Each day is amazing enough

Teach, Learn, Share

Perspective is everything.
I love sharing and teaching partner acrobatics.
I am interested learning anything about cultures that are new to me and can always use a chance to practice speaking Japanese or learning a new language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have spent the majority of my life in Alaska, in the United States. I'm more than willing to answer any questions and always enjoy a good discussion!
