Hi, my name is Lexi! I'm a laid-back, curious, and independent person. I'm not really the "party girl," (i.e. no bar-hopping, coming in at 4 am, or excessive alcohol) but I love hanging out with people. My idea of fun is a spontaneous kayaking trip, seeing a wonderful art museum, or swapping the stories of our lives with some awesome food.
I'm not the sort of person that you feel like you have to "babysit." I'm very considerate, think that communication is the key to everyone having a great time, and keep "grandma hours" (I wake up early and go to bed early).
I have a voracious appetite for learning new things. For example, I'm currently learning to cook (my first loaf of bread is in my pictures!) and I'm learning German. If you know how to do either of these things, or anything else really, I'll be very happy to learn from you.
I hope to give back kindness, interesting stories, a few games of chess, and (fingers crossed!) delicious meals. I always strive to be the best. I want to try to be the best guest you've ever had.
I'd love to answer any of your questions about me! Let's have a great time together!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

1) Who doesn't love couches? Am I right?
2) The chance to impress a wide variety of people with my karate skills.
And (the real reasons): I can't think of a better way to travel. Couchsurfing is both budget-friendly and people-rich, the best combination out there!

Música, películas y libros

I love all things music, except Screamo and Country. Growing up in Middle of Nowhere, Michigan, could turn anyone against Country music. I especially love to dance. Let's have a dance-off! Winner gets bragging rights.
Movies: All things Disney (90's childhood, what can I say?), Shawshank Redemption (Dad is super into Stephen King), and The Help (anthropology and social critique go together like PB and J).
Books: Anything I can get my hands on. A book about dragons, a book about Queen Elizabeth, a book about cheese, if it's printed, I want it.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I'm Native American (I know it doesn't show, stupid German genetics...). So, I've built igloos, wigwams, and tepees. I've made my own regalia, and been to more powwows than I can count. I have my very own "Pocahontas" necklace, and I used to carry my most precious objects in a leather pouch around my neck. This upbringing has also given me a lasting respect and love for nature.
