I'm a huge traveler and lover of all things adventure! I love stand up comedy, fantasy books, and art. I am currently getting my masters degree in neuroscience in London but I am originally from the US (I went to college in NYC). I love pottery, hiking, trying new foods and have quite a few cool tattoos:)

My favorite part of surfing is trying something local with my host and learning about their culture.

Ich spreche Deutsch (aber nicht perfekt ich muss sagen, lol) auch. I habe in Deutschland für fast 2 Jahren gewohnt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to explore different cultures through meeting people who actually live there, and make new friends! I love to share my own culture as well and can share many funny stories from living in New York:)
