Hi, I'm a science writer living and working in Hamburg, Germany. I'm originally from the east coast of the United States.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The obvious: I love to travel and meet people. The not-so-obvious: I like hearing people's stories, and I am up for helping them along their journeys. Even though I don't really have the ability to host people right now, I certainly can help with orienting folks and showing them around the city and its surroundings.

Interests

My two big loves are science and literature, but I also love being out in nature, hiking, exploring new places, and cooking. I also can play drums and some percussion instruments.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: From blues and jazz to hip hop and neo-soul to country and metal and everything in between.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nearly getting attacked by a macaque on a monkey park near Kyoto is a story I've gotten a lot of traction out of.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be very happy to show you around Hamburg! I know many little details and hidden-in-plain-sight places that I've learned from various people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide food and if you come here to Hamburg, I love playing tour guide. :)
