I recently studied business at UC Berkeley in California, and since then, I've ...

- attended the world's top fashion school without knowing how to sew beforehand
- worked as a ghostwriter and editor to help students apply to graduate programs
- started designing for a small aerospace company
- flown over the North Pole
- photographed lookbooks for international labels
- traveled around the world and made incredible friends along the way, mostly by getting lost and asking strangers for directions

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of travel is meeting people and seeing their perspectives! After traveling to 40 countries I’ve been so fortunate and made truly wonderful friends through Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled around the world on $35 a day including flights. This was when I was on a student budget, but it taught me to seek out hole-in-the-wall restaurants, try new experiences, and say hello to strangers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always happy to meet new, interesting people! If you like art, design, music, fashion, photography, or anything creative, we'll have so much to talk about.

I always like to bring food or desserts from California for kind hosts. Please let me know if I can bring something specific for you! Also I've recently started learning ceramics, and while I'm still very much an amateur, I'd be very happy to bring you a handmade cup, bowl, or vase.
