ABOUT ME

I'm a student who found couchsurfing while traveling around during my gap year before university. I love travel especially for trying new foods and seeing what the world looks like. In general I'm excited, honest, easy to please, and determined to know everything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spelunking! The world underground (in USA, France, Morocco, Thailand) is a wild and wonderful thing to explore!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've lately gotten really interested in Dance, especially salsa and merengue, and also contra and square dancing. I'd love to learn more!
As for teaching, I'm happy to speculate on almost any topic.. I know a bit about bookbinding, sewing, and ceramics, and am generally full of random and useless facts to share.
Share-- I love making banana bread for my hosts, if you like it I'll leave the recipe!
