Hello friend, I am a 21 year old exchange student from the USA. I am currently studying in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Nijmegen happens to be the oldest city in the Netherlands and is quite unique. Last year, I studied for thirteen months in Hannover, Germany. I really love to meet people and I enjoy traveling. I have a passion for photography and making clay and resin jewelry. I chose to study in the Netherlands because I really enjoy the Dutch culture and exploring a new country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I chose to complete my Couchsurfing profile, because I really want to meet new people, and travel to new cities. As an exchange student, it isn't always easy to meet the right people and travel to new cities without any guide! I would like to travel to a city, stay with a local, and explore a new culture.
