Overview
About Me
I'm an American student of theatre & psychology spending a summer couch-surfing Europe in between semesters in London. When I'm not working on my degree, I'm performing in local professional productions, from the over-produced to the avant-garde. **I'm not accepting guests because I'm currently traveling myself!**
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love experiencing new places from very local, hands-on perspectives and can't wait to meet you in your beautiful cities! I try to travel and stay with some of my pen pals across the world, but where I don't have any, Couchsurfing provides me the opportunity to make new friends. As a student on a tiny budget, staying for free is amazing—almost as wonderful as the experience of being welcomed into someone's home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once, I drove to Atlanta for a Glen Hansard concert and slept in a gutted & renovated school bus on a communal theatre ground. It was incredible. There were even chickens. I've also created a systematic collection of the 50+ best bars in London, categorized by style and location across the city, and designed an original improv show for performance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
Teach, Learn, Share
My education in psychology has led me to be very open-minded and I get on well with most people! I have OCD so you will NEVER have to worry about me trashing your space—I'm incredibly clean and independent.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have an incredibly old soul and a desire to learn about others—I can be an audience for your own stories or a teller of my own. I also do needlepoint and hand-sew patches, so I'm happy to whip something up for you to remember me by! I'm so excited to meet you.
