I'm an American from New York City currently working for a human rights NGO in Brussels. I studied international criminal and human rights law, and I've spent the last three years working across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East.

I'm a bit of an addict when it comes to running, working out, and triathlons, and I balance all of that out with hefty amounts of strong Belgian beer. I'm a huge fan of great music and dancing until the sun rises.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I love to meet new people.

2. My bank account is usually empty because I travel too much.
