Overview
About Me
Soo I'm a human being. I'm also a student at Vanderbilt University who studies Mechanical Engineering and Communication Studies. But I think at this point I may actually want to do film/videography... I love doing other little creative things and relaxing and exploring and whatnot. And it's always better with friends. Or strangers too!
I lived in Madrid for six months right before 2016. I did an internship during the summer and then studied and it was unforgettable.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Exploring places, people, and things is a new found enjoyment of mine. Couchsurfing is an outlet into a fantastic community that I was introduced to via my friend. I've now taken trips to Canada and around the US and made connections in Europe with CS. It's only been a good experience so far!
Interests
Really a little bit everything. Sports (soccer and football) have always been a big thing for me. And outdoor things, from camping to building stuff. Also a bit of a reader and a definite movie watcher/analyzer. I also love me some science, tech, music and anything that's funny.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent a week living, learning and working with the Monacan Indian Tribe in Georgia (USA). I lived in their tribal hall, learned about their history and future, and worked on some repairs and a nice dreamcatcher I have hanging in my room. Also, I ate a LOT of their delicious food....
Teach, Learn, Share
I suppose I have some knowledge up in the brain about engineering and science since that's what I study. Other than that, I could teach some basic piano and videography and some random things too.
I've always wanted to expand my minimal knowledge of ASL. But I also love to try my hand at new things from languages to instruments to situations
And of course sharing company and stories is the best kind of sharing
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share an open mind that wants to hear what you have to say. I'm always open to sharing stories because every person is intricate. And I'm up for about anything! So I can be a partner in exploring new things
