About Me

Hello! I'm obviously quite new to couch surfers, but very excited to try it out.

As a person, I am an extroverted introvert, I love meeting others, am friendly, and make an effort to be outgoing, but also appreciate taking time to just enjoy my surroundings.

I am finishing up my two University degrees in a few months, one in Telecommunications, one in Theatre and Drama. I spend a lot of time in each of these worlds, and I love what I get to do in them! This summer, I am additionally working as an intern in Resource Development at a local non-profit.

In the US, I have lived in Washington DC, Huntsville Alabama, Salt Lake City Utah, Nashville Tennessee, and currently Bloomington Indiana. I have also spent a great deal of time in Maine. I am always happy to share tips to other travelers about these great places.

As a guest:
I am quiet, respectful, and clean. I never take the party home, but I do enjoy going out and seeing new places, I'm not one to sit around for too long! I love pets and dream of the day that I am able to get a dog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want an opportunity to learn more about other people and places, making new friends along the way! I also love to share with others my own background in exchange.

I love seeing cities through local tips and perspectives instead of just following tourist guidelines!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure if there are any tremendously exciting endeavors that I've undertaken, but one of my favorite experiences in the US was climbing inside the Statue of Liberty in New York City to the small windows in the crown, getting a view of the whole city!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to improve my French skills! I'm not very confident in them currently!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything I can! Information about places I've been or lived to how to play that obnoxious song with cups in it.
