CURRENT MISSION

To study and travel the world with interesting people

ABOUT ME

I am a PhD student in anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis. I am extremely interested in the environment, music, traveling, cooperative living, and I know how to make pizza from scratch.

PHILOSOPHY

So it goes, listen to loud music, enjoy yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will host anyone while I have a couch (or even a floor, if you want).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted fun hitchikers before, and we cooked paella! I've surfed in Switzerland and Salt Lake City and met numerous surfers elsewhere. What a good way to see a new place!
