I just want to travel the world, drink coffee, and pet dogs. I work in international higher education and I think it's vital to share cultures in whatever way possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only had amazing, educational, and life changing experiences. An awesome home cooked Swiss lunch, wandering around a random island in Sweden, and dropping 116 meters on an amusement park ride with another host in Sweden. I'm here to offer what I can to the international community.

Interests

I completed my BA in anthropology so I really enjoy learning and participating in whatever new adventure available. I'm also a professional at befriending animals at parties.
