Hello! I am an easy-going designer currently working on a master's degree in Manchester. I'm originally from Wisconsin (where the locals wear styrofoam cheese on their heads), but spent most of my adult life in Chicago. When I travel I like to live like the locals do: eat good food, relax in local cafes, and shop in design shops and boutiques.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet interesting people from around the world. After staying in a few hostels I heard about couchsurfing as a way to meet avid travelers like myself. I would also like to host fellow couchsurfers once I have a stable address.

Interests

Traveling (obviously), modern art, thrift shopping, Vinyasa yoga, cooking, eating, drinking craft beer, listening to podcasts, biking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped start a hostel in Florianopolis, Brazil.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a great cook and I can share interesting conversations about a multitude of topics. I think one of the things that makes me most excited in life is hearing what others are most passionate about.
