About Me

Hello!

I'm from San Francisco, California and but have spent the last two years living, studying, and working in Seattle, Washington. In September 2016 I moved to Bishkek to work as an English teacher for 6 months. This is my first time traveling outside of the United States and am hoping to take the opportunity to see some of the countries around me! While I'm still a college student, one of the reasons I took the job in Central Asia was because it gave me the opportunity to not just tour another country, but to experience day-to-day life. I'm hoping that CouchSurfing will help me get a quick look at what's that like in places I won't have as much time.

In my free time I love to either meet with friends or stay outdoors. I like to talk about anything and especially appreciate the opportunity to practice my foreign languages and to help other people practice theirs. Probably the thing I care the most about when traveling (even if it is just between states) is trying the local cuisine or the best food in town! Baking and Cooking are arts and I love talking about food and how it reflects the culture of a city or country (nor am I opposed to doing this over a beer or two!)

I'm not the greatest cook, but am a great baker and would be more than happy to either bring baked goods such as cookies or cake, or could bring ingredients to bake there (because who doesn't love the smell of cookies wafting through their house?)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I currently have no experience CouchSurfing, I know quite a few people who have had nothing but great experiences with it! I'm especially hoping that I can use it as an opportunity to meet people and make friends wherever I go and that I can start CouchSurfing when I get back to the United States.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can either help teach or practice English.

I'm very low maintenance and would spend very little time in the house, but (given ingredients are available) would not hesitate to bake/bring an american treat such as cake, cookies, or other pastries!
