I was born in New York City, but raised in Sarasota, Florida. I have lived about ten minutes away from the beach my entire life. I have a twin brother and a brother and sister who are also twins so I am really great at sharing. I graduated Florida State University and now doing a Masters in Social Sciences at the University of Freiburg in Germany. I've worked at a film festival in Florida, volunteered on a goat farm in Portugal, took care of horses in France, taught English in Indonesia and Thailand, and now exploring South Africa and India during my studies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard from so many friends of their great experiences couchsurfing that I knew this was something I should try. I love to meet new people and hear about their stories. Experiencing a new country and culture is more amazing when you have someone to share and talk about it with.
