About Me

Researcher by day, and by night... a whole lot of everything! I love playing soccer, practicing yoga, aerial arts, hula hooping, collecting records, dancing, and riding bikes.

I have a small but magical studio apartment that looks like a little tree house. I have essentially every kitchen gadget you could ever dream of but not too much privacy. In the photos of my home you will see a ladder and up the ladder is a little sleeping nook I have crafted for guests (but no worries if you don't want to sleep up the loft, throwing down the air mattress or couching it are always options). I have a beautiful roof top balcony that is wonderful to relax on — weather permitting :)

I am frequently traveling for fun and for work so my schedule is a little hectic but I’ll try to squeeze you in!

I frequently have a medium sized dog staying with me who does shed so if you have allergies this isn’t the best spot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
