I am currently traveling around Europe with my friend, Katrina Olsen. We both studied at UC Berkeley, she in Linguistics and German, I in cognitive science, English literature, and education. We are friendly, flexible, and respectful. We love meeting new people and are currently studying abroad, and have very much loved seeing more of the world and the people it has to offer. We are into a lot of similar things (books, comics, musicals, etc.) and know we get along while living together (past roommates). We are very much looking forward to making new friends through our travels. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite parts of traveling has been meeting friends in different cities and seeing the city through their eyes and then showing off "my" city when they visit me. So what could be better than doing all of this while meeting new friends along the way?
