The oldest of five, I can almost speak fluent German (still learning), I want to see the world and meet her people. I am a senior at Brigham Young University studying German Language and Humanities. I love getting to know new cultures and customs - I am a humanist, I love people and I believe it is important to expand. I know at this point, without references it is a bit of a risk to take me on - so take a chance on me! I believe respect and kindness go the farthest in life and that extends to ALL people in my life no matter how long they are in it for :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't want the cookie-cutter tourist experience, I want the human interaction and human moments. I think these are the most pivotal moments not only in travel but in life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent the night in an abandoned traincar in the alps!

Teach, Learn, Share

English and a little bit of German (I taught refugees in a Boys Home in Austria), I can sing and play guitar, and I can share my story. I am ready to listen and to be taught!

An open mind, a genuine love for humans, and maybe some Reeses :)
