About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a current graduate student getting a dual masters in environmental management and architecture. I have always loved to travel, and feel that taking the opportunity to connect with people and places when and where we can helps us to live life to its fullest potential.

PHILOSOPHY

Be strong, be wise, be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2012 I traveled via train across America with my best friend Lucie. We stayed with couchsurfers all along the way and had an amazing time. It was a truly broadening experience. I did the same in 2015 when I returned to the UK for a friend of mine's wedding. After that I got hooked and try to use it whenever I travel. I have met so many incredible people through couchsurfing, and I look forward to meeting many more! I have yet to be in a position to host in Connecticut, but I look forward to getting the chance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gateway of fireflies in Stony Creek during the summertime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn everything and anything. In return I'll talk your ear off about urban planning and trees--and pop in a few random (and a bit rusty) factoids about marine life from my time volunteering at an aquarium.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Curiosity.

And if you are interested in a little curio from the tiny state of Connecticut, just let me know! I can bring you apple butter.
