For years now I have had the privilege of using Couchsurfing to fully immerse myself in the cultures where I travel. I enjoy spending my time having long conversations over tea with my CS host about cultural norms, political structures and the local architecture.

I am currently working at a startup in London. Before that I was studying the history of science and technology at Cambridge and computer science at Yale.

When I'm not traveling I spend most of my time writing, drawing buildings, swing dancing, and hanging out with my friends. I'm always up for an adventure... especially if it involves interesting architecture, bicycles, or infiltrating abandoned buildings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For years I have told everyone I meet to join this community. I love spending time with the people I'm staying with and doing my best to appreciate their walk of life.

In 2011 I couchsurfed my way around Europe for almost four months. I met dozens of amazing people. Couchsurfing was definitely the best part of traveling. It has forever changed me.
