21 years old, and I've just started to explore the world. My home university is in the states, but this semester I'm studying in Stirling, Scotland. Experiencing all the new customs of locals and other international students is exactly why I love to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to immerse myself in new customs, genuinely meet people and share stories.

Interests

I love photography and all things filmmaking. Making black and white prints is a favorite hobby of mine.

I'm a writer, mostly a poet. I've been doing slam poetry for almost 4 years. Trying to get into screenwriting as well.

I love to travel, and I haven't done nearly as much as I'd like to. I enjoy wandering off and exploring new cities. Getting lost can be the best part of a trip.

Just recently started taking sailing lessons. Hopefully this becomes a true hobby because it's always been a dream of mine.

Rockclimbing. All indoor so far, hoping to start outdoor climbing as soon as I can.

Oh! And I swing dance for some reason.

Music, Movies, and Books

Psych thrillers are my favorite movies. My default favorite is The Secret Window, but it's too hard to choose.

Recent books I've loved are Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Damned by Chuck Palahniuk, Frankenstein

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing a mountain in British Columbia is definitely up there on my list of crazy adventures, but I'm hoping to top it soon. The seven day hike was the most trying experience of my life, but I know it's only the start.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have experience with teaching dance so if you'd like I can teach you some swing dancing.

A random poetry performance is always an option.

We can talk about what it's like to develop film photos, direct films, be in poetry tournaments, or the random things I've seen and learned while studying abroad.
