I'll try anything twice.

Growing up I always wanted to travel, and by 18 I headed off to university in Europe and haven't looked back. 5 years later, I've lived in places all over the world, eaten things I'd never thought I'd try, and met more wonderful people than I thought my heart could hold.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few friends of mine have used it and always raved about it!

Interests

Voracious reader, eater, listener.
I love linguistics, studying languages, reading, eating and cooking, finding new music, and learning new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got quite the appetite for linguistics, geography, and economics. Learning phrases from far off languages really hits a spot for me.
Sharing music, movies, books, museums, ideas, and travel destinations are always excellent conversation pieces. Show me something new and I'll do my best to reciprocate.
