ABOUT ME

Just finished a French language program in Lyon and am taking a few weeks in August to relax in France and visit some friends in Sweden and Czech Republic.

Finished an internship in Shenzhen, China teaching English as a Second Language, then took the summer off to travel through western China and Central Asia.

Was studying at Univerzita Karlova in Prague, CR for a semester. I finish my undergraduate degree in English Literature and International Affairs in December 2016.

PHILOSOPHY

ah tough question!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted but I've had some wonderful hosts--I try to be a good guest and friend in return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had great times meeting hosts and surfers around Europe while studying in the Czech Republic, from January to June of 2014. Met some wonderful hosts on weekend trips, and spent a little over two weeks surfing from Prague to Helsinki with two schoolmates.

Since then I've stayed with some hosts in China (Beijing and Urumqi) and some CS friends in Prague and Budapest.
