About Me

I used couch surfing quite a bit a few years back and I had the best experiences. Now that I'm finished up with school and traveling again I'm back on! Like most of us on here, I really love meeting and connecting with new people and having great experiences along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to make a friendlier world by being a good guest who brings something positive to other's lives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went with a friend who was couch surfing and I stayed with a wonderful host in the upper peninsula, then stayed with some folks in Lawrence Kansas, and finally had a wonderful 2 week stay in Colorado with the best possible people!

I love 60s psychedelic, jazz, classical, and blues. I am a musician so I kind of just love (almost) all music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the Swiss Alps.
Saw 0 stars in Central Park.

Teach, Learn, Share

Je parle bien le francais, mais pas couramment. Ma Grand-mère est née au Québec donc sa langue maternelle est le français. Plus, ça fait trois ans que j'ai etudié le français à ma université. Pourtant, je veux continuer d'apprendre des francophones natifs!

I know a very small amount of German but I am interested in learning more.

I can help with English as it's my native language!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Germany, Jamaica, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
