Hello! I love all things related to traveling, backpacking, computers, and learning. I am from Los Angeles and have lived in LA, Seattle, San Francisco, Mexico City, and now New York. I'm a software engineer and I have a miniature schnauzer, Behr!

I love visiting museums, watching musicals, finding cool bars and small spots, and trying new things. I also greatly appreciate stimulating conversation and friendly, open people.

I hope when Covid is over I can host people again!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on Courchsurfing because I think it's an excellent way to meet new and interesting people and learn from them.

音乐、电影和书籍

My favourite composer is JS Bach, I love live jazz, and I listen to Broadway soundtracks to concentrate at work. I appreciate any movie that expands my mind and have recently enjoyed Second Mother and Roma. Letters to a Young Poet by Rainier Maria Wilke is one of my favourite books (set of letters, really), especially the August 12, 1904 letter. My favourite musical is Come From Away.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I travel solo a lot now, but the first time I did it for an extended period of time was the summer before my senior year in college. I was super heartbroken and lonely as I left Switzerland and ended up just going wherever the trains took me after that for a few months, going around Western Europe and Scandinavia. It was actually the first time I used Couchsurfing and I only stayed with one host but I met so many fantastic locals who introduced me to their cities and really helped lift me up. I was blown away by peoples' kindness and I came back to the US so refreshed and ready to love myself.
