I'm an English teacher living and working in Berlin. I have a passion for travelling and love to meet and get to know people from around the world. I'm interested in other people's cultures and religions. I grew up in the USA and moved in Berlin in 2005. I love living in Europe and in 2017, I renounced US citizenship and became a German citizen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One can travel and never get to know the people in the country. The best experiences I've ever had have been when I had real connections with the people who live in the countries I visit. I often travel alone, and this gives me the opportunity to really get to know the culture, food and people. I joined Couchsurfing because I think it would be an excellent way to experience real life.
