About Me

In the middle of traveling around Europe, I've never been here and would love to meet locals from the countries I'm visiting! I like to think I'm a good listener as well as relatively funny (...maybe?) you can let me know about that! I'm pretty cheerful and it doesn't take much to make me happy. I'm also quite independent so no worries about babysitting although advice about the area or good food to try/sights to see would be highly appreciated! But if you do have time to get to know me and show me the area yourself I would love that even more! I'm very considerate and flexible so if there's something I'm doing that you dislike don't hesitate to let me know! Also I don't smoke and rarely drink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a really great opportunity to speak to a local who lives in the area. I also love learning about different people and their culture.

Interests

Traveling, watching movies, hiking, reading books, watching TV, meeting new people, trying new things, laughing, walking, singing (in the shower), shopping (trying to stay away from that for a little while), video games, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most music except country...although I do like some country. Most of the time I listen to top 40s hits not going to lie...

Inception, The Dark Knight, (most Christopher Nolan movies), most Guillermo Del Toro's movies like Pan's Labyrinth, El Orfanato, etc. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Big Fish, Amelie, etc. I really love watching movies.

The Great Gatsby, The Sandman series (or most books by Neil Gaiman), Where's Waldo, The Giving Tree, etc. I really love reading books too! Although right now I'm reading my first ever Jane Austen book and it's really difficult to get through...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived and taught English to elementary kids in Busan, South Korea for a year! It was a great growing opportunity and kids are basically the same all over the world - they're ridiculous in the best way possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English but if I'm staying with you, you probably already know it...I could teach you about American culture definitely (it's not all guns!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good listening ear, respect, flexibility, hopefully a good time!
