I'm a recent college graduate originally from Philadelphia, now living in Germany. I work in technology and love the outdoors, meeting new people, and learning new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe, probably like most couchsurfers, that the best way to learn about a city is not with Trip Advisor's Top 10 list, but rather through the eyes of someone local to the area. Getting and insider's view opens a new window to the culture , and making personal connections is much more satisfying than seeing every single statue in town.

When friends visit me, I love to show them the secrets of my city, and I hope that I can learn the secrets of other cities around the world.
