CURRENT MISSION Balance my life. Work hard and play hard.
.......... .......... ..........
ABOUT ME I run on fomo and sleep deprivation. My bucket list guides my life. I'm a graduate from EMU with my Bachelor's Degree in French. I have my advanced scuba certification. I'm a collector of experiences and love a good dose of nostalgia. I have a 27 year old snake named Khaa and a 7 year old cat named Stormy.
.......... .......... ..........
PHILOSOPHY Pan metrwn aristwn - ancient greek for "everything in moderation". I want to try a little bit of everything that there is to be offered in life. By nature, I'm a jack of all trades!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I would love to share my couch with interesting travelers to vicariously travel through them!
.......... .......... ..........
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I first surfed for a year starting in June 2014 and ending June 2015. Since then, I have preferred surfing couches to any other form of visiting new places! I have now hosted as many as I’ve surfed with and so must go out and surf to unbalance that again - time for adventure!! ^_____^

Interests

Lately i've been doing a lot of home improvements and the end result is cool but I'd much rather be wandering around and making friends, dancing, watching anime, playing board games, getting sucked into a good video game, writing in my journal or post cards to my friends or making music ^_^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ONE??!! ...ok fine.

I once bicycled from Michigan to Florida with one of my best friends! WILD TIMES!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people the game of Mahjong, I've done it a lot - as it's my favorite table-top game of all time but I have a collection of board games I love to teach as well! I also like to teach people to longboard, another one of my favorite activities!

I'd love to get better at my languages, so any help in the Greek, Japanese, French or Spanish department would be very much appreciated (honestly I'd love any language teaching though, I never know what my next linguistic endeavor will be)!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to make tiramisu and of course language exchange! I leave wherever I've stayed looking very neat too <3
