ABOUT ME

I dabble and am generally up for anything. I love the idea of sustainable living, and take a crack at it every now and then. I love good food and drink, and can make you a decent stir fry with almost any ingredients. Quickly learned that I wasn't made for a desk job, so am moving to Italy for graduate school in international economics and development.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was in Chengdu I hosted a few times, and gave a ton of travel advice. In August, I'm hoping to meet a lot of new people couch surfing with my boyfriend through Slovenia and Croatia! When we get settled in Bologna, it will be great to have guests again.
