Hello! I'm from Los Angeles, CA but moved to Vienna, Austria a few years ago. Now I am in Sweden finishing up my MSc in Environmental Science.

I'm pretty loud and outgoing, although sometimes it takes me a few minutes to warm up to people. My main goal is to live an exciting life and check off all the things on my always-growing bucket list. The most recent things I've checked off is going dog sledding, passing the arctic circle and seeing the northern lights!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people in the places I travel! I've traveled alone a bit and while I really enjoy it, having a local person to show you around gives a much better perspective of the city.

Interests

I'm really into reading, photography (I work as a photographer every summer), any sort of arts and crafts (if you have some sort of crafting skill to teach me, I'd love it!) and cooking (share how to cook a local dish with me, please!)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Sufjan Stevens, Cloud Cult, Scroobius Pip, Dry the River, and Port O'brien.

Books: I love reading, although now I really only ever have time to read for school. Some of my favorite authors are Aimee Bender, Jack London, John Steinbeck and Gabriel García Márquez. I'll also always have a soft spot for the Harry Potter books and the Chronicles of Narnia.
