I'm an easy going, open minded, and curious person who enjoys connecting with others. I grew up in a tiny town and have always loved to travel, explore new landscapes, and meet new people. In college I studied politics and environmental studies and now I live in Seattle, Washington where I work on environmental justice issues and human rights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in getting to know a place by connecting with the people who live there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in the Balkans for six months in order to study peacebuilding and transitional justice in the region.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy getting to know new people, trying new things, and learning from others. I’m interested in current events and popular culture, so I would like to learn more about local politics or other topics you care about. I also love to share meals with others and to teach and learn through food. I would be happy to cook with and for you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open mind, a good sense of humor, and thoughtful conversation.
