One year ago, I obtained my German citizenship, becoming a dual US-German citizen. Around that time, I also graduated university (at Swarthmore, near Philadelphia) and then in September 2015 moved home to Berkeley, CA. Quickly I got bored of living and working there and decided to move to Berlin, Germany, to explore my new citizenship. I found a job writing content here and, as they say, the rest - so far - is history.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tried highlining - walking a slackline high enough in the air that you need a harness so you don't die if you fell. I walked ten feet and then fell. Luckily I had my harness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about English literature and poetry; we can practice Spanish (mine is getting a bit rusty) or work on your English (mine is not rusty).
