I'm American (born and raised in Philadelphia) who's lived in New York City for a few years before heading to London to pursue my master's in urban development.

I'm passionate about cities and design, and have traveled to every continent (except Antarctica!) to explore urban life and cultures in some thriving metropolises, from Dubai to Hong Kong to Medellin. I love learning about and meeting new people, cultures, and ways of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Tired of staying in sterile hotels and packed hostels, and looking for an immersive experience (Especially when traveling alone) where I can get to know people both similar and different from myself.
