Hiya! I'm Grace Olivia, but most people call me Libby.
I'm a 19 year old student from New Zealand, currently studying at SUNY New Paltz. I don't really know how to explain myself beyond this, but my instagram and twitter are both @libbyliving if you want to know what I'm like.
This is my first time in the United States, and I will be here for the entire academic year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love to travel and meet new people, and my friend recommended I look on here for both of those things, so here I am!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't done much, since I'm from the middle of nowhere and I'm so young, but one time I went snorkeling in a coral reef in Fiji, which was beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

As mentioned above, I know a little of many languages that I'm happy to help anybody learn or learn from somebody else.
Other than that all I can really teach is knitting

What I Can Share with Hosts

I mean I'm pretty okay at cooking, so if anybody wants me to cook for them I would be more than happy to do so. I especially love making bread.

Beyond that I'm not really sure, but I'm happy to share anything you'd like!
