About Me

Hi! I am currently a student in Potsdam, Germany working on a Master's in Urban Planning. In addition to reading, listening to music, meeting new people, cooking and playing piano, I really enjoy going on long walks through places I've never been. I'm a big fan of chilling in parks with friends and making impromptu architectural sketches :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I visit a new place, the first thing I usually do is walk around the area for the day without a map. I really like the feeling of finding new places that aren't always frequented by tourists. Sometimes it's nice to have some company on these walks, or get some good recommendations for interesting areas from locals, and that's why I joined Couchsurfing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been told I am a good story-teller (fictional stories), and I can share experiences about living in Germany and the US, as well as traveling to a couple other countries. I also enjoy long conversations about architectural history and the social consequences of architecture.

Apart from good conversation, I like to think I'm a pretty good cook and will be happy to make anyone a burger or fried chicken :)
