Hi! I'm Mikayla!
I'm an artist at heart and in practice. I'm always eager to learn - as a future teacher, I know that I'm still a student, too :)

I'm a non-smoker, and am very quiet and tidy.
I don't drink personally, but I don't mind if you do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm so excited to travel and meet new people and have new experiences.
In June, I'll be going on a study abroad trip to Europe with some classmates and faculty in my degree program. I'll be staying a few extra days after it ends, and am just looking for a place to stay!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I am a lover of most all types of music! However, some of my favorite bands/artists are Coldplay, The Shins, Blossoms, Tom Rosenthal, Imogen Heap, Passenger, Sleeping at Last, The Paper Kites

Movies:
Just like music, I love all types of movies. I love The Man from UNCLE, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, The Princess Bride, all Studio Ghibli movies, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, The Court Jester, Meet the Robinsons, and The X-Files (okay I know it's not a movie, but it's my FAVORITE)

Books:
Le Petit Prince, The Chronicles of Narnia, Les Miserables, Howl's Moving Castle, Anne of Green Gables, and so much more...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I got to helmet dive with a bunch of manta rays! Easily one of the most joyous moments of my life. I'm not particularly thrilled about the ocean, but I LOVE manta rays!

- Zip lining with my family in Mexico! So breathtaking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could attempt to teach a few sparse words of ASL or Spanish - but otherwise, I know a lot of trivia facts and am always learning about art! I would love to teach you new art methods, we could make something awesome together!
I am willing and eager to learn anything you'd like to teach me! I might be slow, but I'm very passionate!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to be friends! We could play games, watch a movie, go to a museum. I'll draw you a little something, if you like! I'd love to buy you breakfast, lunch, or a coffee :) Or if you don't prefer any of those things, I am an amazing listener. Or, if you don't like speaking? I can be a fairly decent storyteller! I know some pretty bad jokes/puns. Or, if you would rather just keep to yourself altogether - I'm very quiet and respectful of your space. Whatever your comfort level is, I'm very flexible!
