About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the most out of my quarter abroad. I'm nearing the end of my "young and free" years, with college graduation and the prospect of real job in the near future, I may not be able to really travel for awhile

ABOUT ME

I LOVE travelling. I also LOVE soccer. I can't usually decide which I like more, which is why I do both! I also love kids and would like to become a teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

I've recently decided that it's best to be open to all life has to offer. No reservations, just live! We'll see how this goes :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly, I just want to travel and surf on other people's couches, but my place is occasionally open as well. CS is awesome because it allows people to travel for cheap and meet really awesome people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All good!

Interests

SOCCER! I also like music a lot - pretty much any type. Pets and animals in general are also pretty awesome!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Costa Rican rainforest and the open-hearted people there also took my breath away.

I was absolutely amazed by La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Closer to home, the Pacific Ocean along the Oregon coastline was beautiful and I do love the cows that populate my Iowan home :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play soccer and am actually fairly good at picking up languages.
