About Me

👋 Hello, I am traveling around Europe for 6 months to break out of my American mindset. I'm in the Ireland at the moment.
🍻My favorite moments in life are laughing with friends around a good meal and exchanging stories.
🏡 I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania in the suburbs of Philadelphia, then went to Rochester, NY for College, and have lived in San Francisco for the past 6 years.
✏️ I work as a design freelancer so I have the privilege of working while I travel. I will let you know in my request if I need to work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You could say I am on CS for the "Right reasons". I want to experience cultures and perspectives different from my own. To experience new things with new friends. I am not well-traveled, so I want to see more of the world before I settle down. I hope to host in the future when I have the means to.
✨Also not looking for hookups, ty✨
