I'm a student from Philadelphia in the USA doing an internship at Adidas in Germany for the summer, and am using it as an opportunity to do some traveling around Europe. I am a little bit quiet and shy, but I am really into sneakers, fashion, drawing, and connecting with people. I like spending time on my own as well as with other people, so its no problem if we do our own things separately.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get a feel for places in a more normal way rather than see it as a to-do list of sights to see. I would rather get to know the people there and understand the culture. I heavily value human connection, and always learn so much from the people I meet, especially when I'm in a new place. The best experiences I've had while traveling were usually with strangers or people I had just met, and I am very eager to continue making new, vibrant memories with other people.

-If you make art I would LOVE to see what you do and ask if you have any tips or tricks
