I‘m a 20 year old international student living in Stuttgart, Germany on exchange. I‘m from San Diego, California. I study Biochemistry with a minor in Criminology, and also am trying to learn German.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I‘m on Couchsurfing to gain deeper experiences into the place I travel and hopefully give back a little, since I‘ve used it once before and had an amazing time and would like to use it again in the future. Unfortunately I‘m a very busy student and also spend almost every other weekend in Munich visiting my SO, so if I deny a request please do not take it personally! It‘s because I either won’t be in town or have to focus on my studies. :-)

Interests

I like to travel, read, and meet new people. Generally I just like chasing an adventure, whether it‘s in a new place, a new story, or a new person!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love indie or alternative rock and classic rock. I can never pick favorite films or TV shows but I grew up on the Harry Potter books. I love to read, and my favorite genres are fiction, science fiction, mysteries, or true crime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two friends and I took a train trip from Vancouver, Canada to San Diego, California, down the entire west coast of the United States. We lived out of backpacking backpacks and stopped in almost every major city. Along the journey, we slept in all different kinds of hostels, camped, slept on overnight trains, and even tried Couchsurfing for the first time!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States
