CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world! Honestly, I have no idea, but I want to make a positive difference in this world.

ABOUT ME

I am easy going, and get along well with basically anyone. I am always looking for new thrills and experiences, and so always up for an adventure! I am active, and love sports. I've tried out almost every sport growing up, but as of now I swim and play Water Polo competitively. I also absolutely love travel, and have done so quite a bit. When growing up I moved between Switzerland, Mexico, The U.S. (CT), and Singapore. Right now, I am studying Biology and Psychology at St. Andrews. The subjects fascinate me, but I'm not sure what I will do in the future, as I feel more "alive" out in nature or travelling and really Living life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined CS, so as of now I haven't been couch surfing or offered a couch. However, I think it's such a brilliant idea, and am thrilled that something like this exists! I will definitely be using CS often when travelling! I also plan to offer a couch when I get the opportunity to.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sorts of music! But right now I'm listening a lot to Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Jethro Tull, Tori Amos, ELP, Pink Floyd, Simon & Garfunkel, Yes, and Supertramp.
Right now I'm reading a really interesting book called "Nurture via Nature", and so recently I've been picking up more science books. But I also like Paulo Cuelho, Phillip Pullman, and the Harry Potter books.
Movies: I enjoy movies, and especially those that are a little 'odd'. Pan's Labyrinth, Billy Elliot, The Chumscrubber, Girl Interrupted, The Lion King, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Driving Lessons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Tanzania this summer, where I lived with a Masaai tribe, who have become a family abroad! We also taught school kids about HIV/AIDS.
I have also swam (alone!) with a pod of dolphins in the ocean! (and managed to get pee'd on by one of them! :o )

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning everything and anything new that anyone is up to share!
I'll be happy to teach people some Swedish, or maybe some German, Spanish, or Swahili?
