I'm a university student who spends her school years reading and summers traveling. I was raised to be a citizen of the world and I try to live up to that in everything I do! I'm a caring, curious person who values meaningful connections and authentic people. I believe in the kindness of strangers and the magic of spontaneity—which is to say I love couchsurfing!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

My family discovered couch surfing when I was 14 years old, and since then it has been our favorite way to travel. We have couch surfed as a family in Australia, New Zealand, all throughout Europe, and in the States as well, and along the way we have met such wonderful, generous people. Now that I am old enough to be traveling independently, I am hoping to establish my own connections as a couch surfer, and to open my own home to people traveling through the States! The philosophy of couch surfing—the vulnerability, kindness, and curiosity which are involved—align with my personal life philosophy.
