About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn as many languages as possible

ABOUT ME

I love learning languages and I want to be a polygot.

Right now I am studying abroad in Greifswald, Germany and researching spider morphology. I want to use this year for so many things - to grow, learn German, learn all that I can, and travel.

I will try any food you put in front of me if you say it is delicious. I have some pretty weird food preferences (peanut butter with marmite, jam and pickles...) so there's not much that scares me off if it's edible :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and learn?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hopefully by being part of the cultural exchange! Helping whatever way I can - be it cooking, or just having a good conversation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just started couch surfing in Morocco and every experience has been wonderful so far!

Interests

music (currently learning violin, have had experience with guitar and mandolin), languages, traveling, living, eating, learning about other cultures, teaching chimpanzees sign languages....I have a lot.
