Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE In 2012 I traveled via train across America with my best friend Lucie. We stayed with couchsurfers all along the way and had an amazing time. It was a truly broadening experience. I did the same in 2015 when I returned to the UK for a friend of mine's wedding. After that I got hooked and try to use it whenever I travel. I have met so many incredible people through couchsurfing, and I look forward to meeting many more! I have yet to be in a position to host in Connecticut, but I look forward to getting the chance.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Gateway of fireflies in Stony Creek during the summertime.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn everything and anything. In return I'll talk your ear off about urban planning and trees--and pop in a few random (and a bit rusty) factoids about marine life from my time volunteering at an aquarium.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Curiosity. And if you are interested in a little curio from the tiny state of Connecticut, just let me know! I can bring you apple butter.
My Interests
Night swimming, architecture, flowers, traveling.
