ABOUT ME

I'm originally from California, recently transplanted into new soil in the Netherlands. I think CS is a great way to meet local people in a community, and I feel most at home when I'm doing just that. I plan on studying in the Netherlands for a MSc, afterwhich, I will probably continue riding this crazy wave we all call life.

PHILOSOPHY

I think people are on this world to make a difference in others lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted couch surfers in the past, and now I would like to take advantage of the community by surfing couches around the world. If you are available, please let me know!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have both hosted and surfed couches across the world, and I'm honored to be allowed into each and every home that invites me in.

That being said, I would say I have had poorer experiences as a host than as a surfer, mostly because my hosts never took showers and were a generally uncomfortable to be around. I've learned from this experience and act accordingly, which means I know what you as a host expect.

Interests

I enjoy cycling, hiking, exploring natural and urban environments. I have a strong passion for doing work that relates to my belongingness to the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I designed and constructed a water treatment project in rural Ecuador during my environmental engineering internship there. If you would like to know more about it, please let me know! I love to talk about my adventures around the world, and I equally love to hear other peoples stories as well.
