I am an au pair living in Germany for a year and have been lucky enough to do a lot of traveling in that time. When I return to the US, I will be moving to Chicago where I will start working towards my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Pretty interesting stuff. I love art and books and how people think and also watching Netflix and great beer and a great party. I'm a very laid back, easy going gal who loves meeting new people and hearing people's stories. I'm also excellent at respecting people's personal spaces. I love exploring beautiful cities, checking out their nightlife, and just generally enjoying this traveling lifestyle. I'm also really bad at writing About Mes, but I'm an open book so if you have questions, please just ask! Seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great way to really understand a new culture and not just visit it. It's also a great way to meet some awesome people. I have met some of the greatest people while traveling and using couchsurfing.
