At the moment, I'm living in France, working as a teaching assistant for English in elementary schools. I studied French in college, but I definitely want to pick up more languages and eventually work as a translator or interpreter. I'm kind of at an in-between moment of my life, since I just finished my bachelor's degree last year. The next big step for me will be grad school, but I haven't quite decided just yet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living and traveling around in Europe has given me the opportunity to see some amazing places and meet great people. I've heard this site is also a great way to meet other like-minded individuals from around the world.

Interests

Apart the obvious interest in travel, one of my main interests is language. My native language is English, and I'm also fluent in French. I understand Cebuano, but I don't speak it too well. And I'm also working on my Spanish! In the near future, I want to start learning German.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music! I grew up singing in choirs and musical productions, and I recently got into jazz singing, thanks to my university's jazz band. I used to play some piano, too, but I haven't practiced in a long while. (And it's hard to take your keyboard from the US to Europe!) I'm really open to almost any genre of music, as long as it's done well.
