My name is Victoria, and I am currently in school to receive a dual bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and a German. I hope to further my education, pursuing a PhD in Communication Sciences and Disorders.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see as much of the world as possible. I hope to share my culture with yours :)

Interests

I have taken violin, piano, and voice lessons for years. I also have been involved with a myriad of orchestras and choirs.
Most of all, I like to keep busy. I like to fill my time with learning as much as I can, while trying to volunteer for as many groups and foundations I feel I can be of assistance.

• literature
• photography
• coffee
• piano
• violin

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy fantasy. Specifically, I am a huge nerd for Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
Also, if something is in the form of a musical, I probably love that too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've performed with the voice of the Little Mermaid (the fabulous Ms. Benson)

Teach, Learn, Share

"Docendo discimus"
"By teaching, we learn"
I strongly believe that those who have a proficiency in an area should strive to share it with others. We are not created to collect knowledge and keep it stored.
Every semester, I make it my goal to tutor as many people for free in subjects which I have a skill. If my ability in an area can help someone else, I want to take as many steps as I can to help.
I have taught violin for 6 years, and I've tutored Latin, English, Literature, Algebra, Chemistry, and Physics.
