I'm just a gal trying to see the world and meet some good people as I go. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Maryland, where I studied journalism and women's studies, and now I'm an intern at Reporters Without Borders in Washington, D.C. After this I hope to pursue work in journalism or publishing. Regardless of what comes next, I look forward to the adventure.

I like to think that I'm pretty easy-going. I love to meet new people and learn about their lives. The way people from seemingly opposite worlds can connect never ceases to amaze me.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing as a way to meet open-minded, interesting people from all over the world, and to get to know their cities through a local's perspective. As someone who treasures human connection as much as I treasure an opportunity to travel, Couchsurfing is a safe and easy way to make connections in foreign places.

兴趣

I love talking about politics, going to concerts, roaming around cities/bookstores/art galleries, sitting in bars and coffee shops, cooking with friends, playing board/card games, sitting outside, watching movies, reading, writing, drawing and coloring.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm easy to get along with... I enjoy deep conversations, light-hearted joking, and quiet moments in equal measure. I make amazing breakfasts, love to read and edit writing, and I'm great with kids.
