I'm a 30 year old ex-PhD student, living pretty close to the center of Utrecht, near Ledig Erf (cute little area of the city). I study linguistics, so I'd be glad to talk to you about languages if you are interested! I come from California, but I've been living in the Netherlands now for nearly 7 years. I love being outdoors, especially when the sun is shining (my California legacy, I suppose!).

I live with my boyfriend (search Lukasz Glab), and our doors are open :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I enjoy meeting new people, hearing about different perspectives, and simply, the joy of sharing the place I've been living in with others. I hope to spread some joy about Utrecht with whoever might come to visit. When it comes to traveling (which I haven't done much of recently!), I love exploring and discovering a new city, the culture, the history, the food, and couchsurfing makes that possible at a more intimate level. I'm on couchsurfing because it brings strangers together, and through it I've discovered the amazing generosity that strangers can have. A very positive thought :)
