About Me

ABOUT ME

Easy-going, respectful and friendly traveler looking to meet new people, experience different cultures, eat exciting food and drink good beer/wine. I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Economics and Math and plan on pursuing an MBA in Germany in Sept '18. At home, I have worked in the service industry for almost a decade and love it! I'm hoping to find some job that incorporates food, drink and travel in the service sector upon graduation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is nothing better than getting the local perspective of a place. There are so many hidden gems that you miss as a simple tourist. Getting to know the people in a place help you get to know a place so much better; the people make a place stick out in memory and in fondness, and make an experience much more profound.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked solo in Turkey for a month. Slept under the stars in the Sahara desert. Boated down the Nile.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food and conversation! And a partner in crime if you want to explore your city or go to a concert/show/restaurant/art opening/etc. I can be as involved or as separate as you, the host, want/have time for; I'd love you to show me around, but I am also happy exploring by myself.
