CURRENT MISSION

Learn about other cultures through real people

ABOUT ME

I am a product of Northeastern USA suburbia with an affinity for anyone who is not from my area (though I do have local friends :). I love meeting new people who have had seemingly different experiences from mine; they are, typically, that much more interesting to me! Through this site and other opportunities, I am always looking forward to learning more and seeing more as time goes on.

After working for an au pair agency (behind the scenes, not as an au pair) for a few years after college, the next phase of my life will find me out in Saint Paul, taking on law school. Should be exciting and intense, and I think I will have a couch then, too, so all the better.

PHILOSOPHY

A situation is as good or bad as you make it. Most of the time, all you'll need is a positive attitude to appreciate life.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Previously, I met up with a few people for coffee and would like to do more of that. Also, was hosted for the first time with a fabulous first experience! Meeting new people as I've traveled some more as well

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Backpacking for three weeks in Eastern Europe was an incredible experience. I would love to repeat this in a new location with a similarly great travel buddy (so important!).

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Born with a paintbrush and pencil in hand, art is my thing. Would love to share that with others
