I am an adventurous 26 year old traveling through Europe. I studied for several years but never felt particularly attached to any subject, so I decided to make the world my school. I want to meet people with different perspectives, learn new skills, and push myself to do things that I never thought possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My parents hosted countless international students throughout my childhood. Their stories (and food) instilled a relentless curiosity in me, and their deep appreciation for my mothers hospitality inspired me to pursue Couchsurfing as a more intimate and connected form of travel. I couldn't think of a better way to experience the world and look forward to hosting someday when I have my own space.

Interests

I enjoy community and connection above all else, especially if it can be shared around the dinner table. Finding joy in the small and seemingly mundane. Listening to music intentionally and dancing uncontrollably. Being outdoors as often as possible. The longer the road trip the better (and can I drive, please?). People who are passionate and knowledgable. Learning anything about anything. Looking through telescopes. Playing piano whenever I get a chance.
