CURRENT MISSION

To eat delicious food all over the world

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from UC Berkeley in California, USA and now I'm living in Memphis and working as a teacher for Teach for America. I love to explore new places and eat great food wherever I go. My living situation makes it difficult for me to host people but I would love to meet up for a coffee or a drink!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was lucky enough to be hosted while I traveled around Europe recently and I hope to get a couch soon so I can host people too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just joined the site recently but I've already had amazing experiences! I couchsurfed in Switzerland, Portugal, France, Italy, and Greece. All of my hosts were wonderful and I'm so grateful that I got to meet them and see another side to the cities I visited!
