ABOUT ME

I'm a native of the beautiful Pacific Northwest (USA), so I love all things green, living and creative. I'm interested in writing and different forms of design. After moving to Berlin in summer of 2013 and living there for a little over a year, I relocated to Prague.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep your heart clean and good things will always come your way.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During the summer of 2013, a friend of mine Couchsurfed our way from Croatia to Germany and met a lot of great people along way. I also hosted from time to time in Berlin.
