Just finished backpacking (mostly solo) in Europe whilst being based in London. I’m originally from California (Orange County/LA...don’t worry I don’t have that annoying Valley Girl accent) but I go to uni at Boston University. On the side, I’m a concert photographer, daily yoga practicer, politics journalist and mental health writer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I traveling solo for most of my journeys and I’d love to meet new people. Also, as much as I love doing some touristy things, I feel like a new city/country can be better appreciated when you step away from the tourist traps.

Interests

Genuinely happy doing pretty much everything. My interests are limitless. I’m both an adrenaline junkie and a lover of just lying on beaches.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Just about everything. I’m a concert photographer by trade and I’ve photographed a whole variety of genres, from rock (Red Hot Chili Peppers) to rap (GoldLink) to EDM (Snakehips) to jazz (anyone tbh) and funk (Masego) to alternative pop (Two Door Cinema Club) to an eclectic mix in between (Tom Misch). Being a concert photographer means I’ve had to really diversify my taste in music.

Movies: not a huge fan of going to the cinema, but I love Inception and The Breakfast Club

Books: Any book by Dan Brown

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a solo hitchhike in Greece and I’m now best friends with all of the people who picked me up!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: photography, English, bad jokes

Learn: anything!! I’m a curious woman. I also ask a lot of questions.

Share: I’m an open book.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I mean apparently I’m entertaining?! I also have some pretty weird travel stories and a weirder sense of humor. I also know Boston like the back of my hand.
