I like to explore new places and experience different cultures. People say I'm enthusiastic and like to laugh. I was born and raised in the Boston, Massachusetts and moved to northern Germany in 2014 for my masters degree in Environmental Management. I’ve been living in Prague for the past 3 years, working on my PhD.

PHILOSOPHY:
Changing the world starts with changing how you see the world
Life should be spent creating and improving
Simplicity is the key.... to just about everything
The quieter you become, the more you can hear

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's nice to make friends, experience different ways of living and get a local's perspective.
