ABOUT ME

I grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA, only about 1.5 hours away from New York City. I went to college in Los Angeles, California. I have traveled to many countries throughout the world. Currently I am living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!
I consider myself to be very out going and upbeat. I like to find the humor in things and not take things too seriously. I love traveling and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed twice before and both times have been absolutely wonderful. I couch surfed in Munich, Germany around Oktoberfest in 2013. I met wonderful people and they showed me a great time around Munich. I also couchsurfed in Paris and had a wonderful time as well!

Interests

I am very interested in sociology and politics. Currently I am conducting research for a non-profit in Rio de Janeiro that focuses on the intersection of urban planning and human rights. I enjoy sharing meals with people, snowboarding, running, painting, hiking, going to concerts and festivals, and going out.
