I'm a PhD student in Public Policy at Harvard studying women's rights and labor rights in Latin America. I was born in Switzerland and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia (USA).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had some wonderful experiences staying with couchsurfing hosts all over the world, in Kenya, Italy, France, and the US. I love that this global community enables people to exchange cultures and help fellow travelers, enriching each other's lives and supporting each other. Looking forward to exploring a new city with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the night on the Great Wall of China, and when we woke up there was so much fog that we couldn't see anything past the wall. It was like we were floating in a cloud!

I can teach you the basics of salsa or bachata dancing!
