CURRENT MISSION

To meet beautiful people

ABOUT ME

I am American who just finished a year working abroad in the north of France. A few years ago I also studied in London. Now I am in the center of Baltimore! I am working on my masters degree studying Negotiation and Conflict Management. I love mangoes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some fabulous people while surfing and hosting! I love both, but maybe I love surfing a little bit more because I'm somewhere new. Read my references. Ina in Oslo said, "Holly is simply the best couch surfer." You bet I am ;)

Interests

I love staying up late and talking on the phone. I like meeting new people especially from the internet because there is some sort of solidarity in our initial awkwardness.

I love trying new foods and someday I want to be the best vegetarian chef that I can possibly be. Maybe even vegan, the only thing that is stopping me is my love of fromage.

I am always on the go, I hate staying in one place for too long. I like traveling with people or alone.

I like arts and crafts and am pretty good at coming up with simple ideas that don't take much skill like sewing and cutting paper.
