About Me

I’m 25 years old, a German-Spanish-American, and living in Brooklyn with my girlfriend and two cats. I love adventuring and meeting new people, which makes NYC my perfect home (I was actually born here, but grew up in Burlington, Vermont!) I enjoy caring for others and work at a hospital as a health educator and an NP student. I also have a background and passion in film and the arts, having studied film and gender theory in college and worked in Hollywood before moving back to the East Coast 😎 I have always loved to travel, I volunteer for mutual aid groups in the city, and Couchsurfing combines these in a magical way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had many exciting traveling experiences and have a multi-ethnic and cultural background with family all over the world who have raised me to love traveling and meeting new people! My experience on this app has been a joy and I love the sense of community and shared humanity.
