Hi! My name is Sascha and I'm a 24-year-old writer and copyeditor/researcher born and raised in L.A. I went to school in the Bay Area, and have been traveling around Europe for the past year(ish). I'm a writer and copyeditor/researcher, but I've also spent time working in kitchens. My absolute favorite thing to do is cook dinner with friends, share a bottle of wine, and listen to music. I love hiking through landscapes both wild and urban.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hanging out with locals is the best part of traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm obsessed with food and love to learn how to cook new things and share my favorite recipes.
