American born & raised in New Jersey, now traveling Australia on my first year working holiday visa. After 10 years of studying, living and working in Boston Massachusetts, last year I took 4 months off to travel Southeast Asia and realized it wasn’t enough. I quit my corporate job in January to come to Australia and to live a bit more freely than before.

I’m kind, clean, considerate, and easygoing. I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years, but do occasionally eat fish and shellfish at the right opportunity :) I love being by the ocean and always feel the most at home by the shore.

I’m also currently finishing a Masters degree in business part-time online, so I’m quiet and have homework to keep me busy and entertained!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m traveling around Australia on a working holiday visa and looking to make connections and find some nice people to stay with as I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting my unfulfilling corporate job and traveling to 30 countries before I turn 30

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share travel tips for US, SE Asia, etc. I know basic coding/programming languages like python and am learning SQL now so can share a bit of that as well.

Would love to learn about what you’re passionate about!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Deep and meaningful conversations, or just some laughs if you prefer. And some great vegetarian recipes :)
