ABOUT ME

I am a Bostonian currently living the dream in London. I am enjoying life and the opportunity to travel as much as possible around Europe and make new CS friends along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry, be happy. Do do do do do do do do...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I’m not looking for a free hotel, but the chance to meet nice people who will let me sleep on their couch and at least share a cup of coffee/glass of wine or at most take me to a party/drink all night on the beach and watch the sunrise. I’ve had some of my best all-nighters with Couchsurfers…

I met so many nice people here, thank you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first began using Hospitality Club when I was studying abroad in Germany in 2008 and have been hooked ever since.

I really enjoy hosting too. It's like traveling, but from home! I find it thrilling to see your city in a whole different light and becoming a tourist yourself in the process. Plus, there's the added benefit of making a new friend in a faraway place to reconnect with down the line. I feel blessed to have so many couchsurfing friends and can't wait to make more!

Interests

Figure skating! skating outside, skating inside, ice dancing, spinning, jumping...

Theater has always held a very special place in my heart, in every capacity from acting to directing to dramaturgy to competitive theater on ice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Definitely flying next to mountain goats, over whales, and finally landing on a glacier in a helicopter in Alaska with my sister all while listening to Enja.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good knitter and a mediocre crocheter.
We can go ice skating together and I can show you some fun figure skating moves or we can ice dance together if you've got some skillz. I want to learn languages from you.
