Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm curious about people and places! CS is a unique opportunity to experience local perspectives, which makes each trip so much more meaningful and interesting. In 2016-2017, I spent a year studying abroad in Scotland at the University of St. Andrews and have had incredibly positive couchsurfing experiences in Geneva, Copenhagen and Barcelona. I am currently studying at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands and looking forward to new travels!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am pretty independent and self-guided as a traveller but I love being able to share stories over coffee/wine! (Also very willing to walk dogs and help out in the kitchen!)
