Hi! I'm Jennie, but you already knew that. I'm a software engineer working in New York City. I went to school at the University of Pennsylvania where I got my undergrad and masters in engineering studying computer science, with a concentration in graphics, though I mostly just love to do art and ride bikes. I'd like to consider myself a pretty musical person, but the skills you might actually encounter are my ridiculously far-fetched story telling, constant cartooning, and a love for cooking. People also tend to think I'm an all-around positive character, but you can decide for yourself. I'd eat anything that's not moving [and probably things that are] and am generally keen on ordering the only thing on a menu that I can't pronounce. I'm extremely outgoing and really just looking to meet cool people and travel the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled a lot and honestly believe there is no better way to experience a city than by couchsurfing. The community is incredible, and I've never had a negative experience. I love being able to share my travels with new friends and see cities through their eyes.

I've surfed in:
TASMANIA - hobart, devonport, bicheno, burnie, launceston
NEW ZEALAND - rotorua, wellington
CANADA - montreal
USA - west palm beach

and I've hosted while living in:
NEW ZEALAND - dunedin
USA - new york

I hope to host more, but have a small shared apartment now. Soon!!

Interests

I love all kinds of crafts, cycling, eating, cooking, wandering around, and trying new things. I spend most of my time and money on concerts. I'm pretty tech savvy and occasionally like to write weird poetry.
