Warm, open, curious! :-)

Formerly a graphic designer, now in graduate school for clinical psychology. Interested in different perspectives, exchanging ideas/skills, and making new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using couchsurfing while I was studying design in Berlin in 2015. I had great experiences hosting people and being hosted. I would love to continue supporting this community of travelers.
