I'm a traveler and host who believes we're all part of a global community and should help each other out. I'm an outgoing, vegetarian, nonjudgmental, animal-loving friend you've yet to meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing primarily because I value building a sense of global community and because I am looking to save money as a grad student. Plus, traveling solo gets lonely. Better to meet friends along the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born was pretty crazy

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to offer piano lessons to anyone who'd like some. Happy to share my research expertise in the psychology of social media!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to help with cooking, chores, walking animals, picking up kids, etc. I am also a musician and can host jam sessions with musically inclined folks. Happy to contribute in any way that feels relevant.
