I'm currently an Au Pair in Holland. I graduated University a couple years ago and decided to become an au pair so I could travel Europe while also taking care of children. Living with a Dutch family for a year allows me to travel while also learning so much about the Dutch culture. I'll go back to San Francisco when i'm finished with my year here, but i have no idea what I will do. I'm passionate about taking care of our environment and I do this by not eating animals, always recycling and composting when necessary, not littering, etc. We only have one planet earth and its resources are not limitless.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling so much and I think couch surfing offers a unique way to really immerse yourself in a new culture. Seeing a new city is one thing, but living with locals brings a whole new outlook.

Music, Movies, and Books

Harry Potter is my all-time favorite book series. I really love WWII novels as well as thrillers. I love most music. I really think that the music depends on the setting, so I also love hearing new music especially while traveling. I hate scary movies but i'll watch just about anything else. I don't watch movies very often (i'd rather be reading), but my number 1 favorite movie is The Princess Bride.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing i've done is packed up my life and moved across the world to The Netherlands to become an Au Pair.
