Born and raised in the Midwest. I have never traveled outside of the US, even though I have always dreamt of doing so (Paris, London, Greece, and Italy are the first destinations I want to check off). I'm finally making a priority of living life to the fullest by doing so. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and learning about their traditions and their way of life. I am very open-minded and love having intellectual conversations. I love nature and am frequently stricken with awe by it. I believe in harmony and treating people with kindness and compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel the world and experience the beauty of everything it has to offer.

Interests

I enjoy history, especially ancient civilizations (Egypt, Greece, Rome particularly) and World War II. I also have a passion for wine; I'm currently studying to become a sommelier. I'm also more than a little obsessed with France (took 4 years of French in high school). :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pleasant company, my somewhat dry, goofy sense of humor, an avid interest in their home and culture and exploring their city, and hopefully a new friendship. :)
