Hi! My name is Freda, born and raised in the US. My biggest hobby is FOOD; I love trying new things, attempting to cook different things and generally bonding over a meal. When I'm not looking to eat, I like being outdoors, visiting museums and reading!

Currently: I recently quit my job as a research engineer to go back to school in August! For the month of July to early August I will be travelling Europe! I would love to meet new people and make new friends during this time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel more often and meet people in the places I go!
