Hi I'm Jody and I like adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new lifelong friends, embark on spontaneous adventures, and be immersed in local culture.

Interests

I work in software for the fashion industry.

I am also a knitwear designer specializing in knit technology and 3D-knit textile development. I founded my fashion brand @knarli_knitwear to create seamless knitwear produced with German and Japanese 3D-knitting machines.

I travel the world to explore fashion, art, and design and enjoy meeting people from different cultures and beliefs.
