Hello! I’m a 28 year old legal professional from the United States wwoofing my way through Europe! I am travelling to learn new languages and explore sustainability and permaculture, when I’m not exploring the big cities of Europe :) I like to meditate, go see arthouse films, and swap stories with people I run into.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on couchsurfing because I deeply value connection. I love meeting new people and getting tiny glimpses into their lives and sharing things about myself in return. I’ve had chance encounters while travelling that have turned into long-lasting friendships, so I’m excited to meet new people and see where the path takes us!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped prevent someone from getting deported from the US (I’m not an attorney though, just worked on the legal team! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes to all three!

Teach: I taught ESL (English as a second language) for a while when I was in university, so happy to help if your English is a bit rusty.

Learn: I’d love to learn your culture! Tell me the folktales you heard growing up, teach me some of your language, show me some of the recipes you ate as a child!

Share: hugs, conversation, meals

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’d love to cook a meal for you! My borscht recipe is pretty incredible. I’ve also spent years holding listening spaces for people to process their emotions, so if you’re going through something, I offer up my ear.
