I'm originally from Massachusetts, USA but I've been living in Hamburg, Germany since 2016, where I studied business and environmental engineering and am now working full time. Now that I'm finally in a position to host surfers, it's time to pay back all the generosity I've received in my travels over the years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite part of traveling is being able to meet people from the cultures I'm visiting. I want to understand how people live and see a city from their perspective. I want to learn about your food, your language, and your life and see your home in a different lens than the typical touristic presentation.

Interests

(Vegan) cooking, making things, crafts, projects, gifts etc.
Exploring unknown places and making new friends around the world that I'll have an excuse to visit again someday.

I'm a vegetarian, almost vegan, and an aspiring eco-freak. I love to cook and I'm always looking for ways to reduce my footprint on the environment. I'm always trying to reduce plastic and other waste in my daily life.

Music, Movies, and Books

All time favorite movie: Little Miss Sunshine
Music: A little bit of everything but usually something upbeat and groovy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was traveling with my family as a kid my father rented a small plane and flew us himself over the Grand Canyon. He's absolutely my inspiration to be such an adventurer (:

Teach, Learn, Share

A bit of German, silly English phrases.

I want to learn about your culture, background and experiences.

If I have time I can show you some of the city but at least I can give you suggestions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughter, stories, and a hot cooked meal. Also snuggles with a doggie!

My place is also a safe space for LGBTQ+, people of color, and all nationalities. ❤️
