Next year I'm going to start studying environmental studies at the University of Washington. I strive to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as I can in all aspects of life. I love nature, good discussions, music, cooking vegan meals, and a good time. :)
Here's my portfolio if you'd like to look at my work! https://hleahy8.myportfolio.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience as much of the world as possible. In doing so, I'd like to experience the world through the lens of locals, who have a deeper understanding of the area. In order to completely grasp the culture and people of a place, you have to speak to people who are a part of the culture. I also love meeting new people and hearing different perspectives and ideas on the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music but listen the most to Soft Indie music, Folk music, and Funk. Florence + the Machine is probably my favorite artist at the moment. I've recently gotten more into 50s music as well.

My favorite series is Harry Potter, but all fantasy novels catch my attention. For two years of my life I made it a goal to read a book a week and succeeded in doing so. I don't read as often anymore but still enjoy being shipped into another world.
Self help books are also very enticing to me as I'm always looking for ways to improve as a human being.
I'm currently reading Every Woman's Guide to Saving the Planet by Natalie Isaacs and Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Norway directly after high school without really knowing Norwegian or Norwegian culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

Open to learning about anything and everything, I want to broaden my thoughts on the world.

I can help you learn about photography related things, including just learning how to use a camera. I can also share tips and tricks. I can also teach you how to do gymnastics tricks if that's something you're into, as I was a competitive gymnast for 11 years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share English skills, and some Norwegian as well.
I can cook for people and love doing so (vegan).
If chores around the house are in need I am willing to help out with that as well!
