About Me

Hi/hola/ola wie gehts/ni hao! I first tried couchsurfing when I was living in New Orleans for school and met some nice people who were travelling through. I went on hiatus for a few years (running around working too hard haha) but making way back in.

My geo timeline basically is born in Minnesota, but moved to Massachusetts when I was two. And then spent forever there, and then when I turned 22 I started moving every 2-4 years haha, for school, work and general indecision/curiosity. First San Francisco then New Orleans, then Providence RI. Now I'm in DC as of Jul 2014, and new to the area so we can explore together :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted some terrific people in New Orleans and met a few friends as well.

Interests

of course traveling! Aside from that, I usually end up finding a string quartet to play in wherever I end up (Washington DC string players, I am a free agent!!!). I also love playing tennis, biking around, going for a nice jog or walk anywhere.

Trying new restaurants, coffee places and geeking out on ice cream, frozen yogurt or baked goods are also things I will do basically any time of day or night.

  • coffee

Currently reading "The Smartest Kids In the World", an interesting read following a few young high school students doing exchange programs abroad, and comparing the US education system to them.
