Geographer. Pianist.
I enjoy watching soccer (DEUTSCHLAND!) and going to the symphony.
Fun fact: I worked in a concert hall to earn money while in college and consequently have met many artists during my time there and I learned that indeed, one can never judge a book by its cover.
My dream job is to work as a full-time GIS Specialist for the National Park Service.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people at the new places I visit but I am very shy and awkward to approach people so this is a great way for me to engage with people.
