ABOUT ME

I'm from Chicago, USA but I have lived overseas for most of the past 10 years, first in the UK for university, then in China for a couple years, and most recently in Istanbul, Turkey for the past 3 years. I live in London now and I'm a lawyer in London

I've lived and studied in quite a few different places, love learning languages, and travel whenever I possibly can.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used Couchsurfing for the first time while on a 6 month journey from London to Vladivostok, Russia on trains, and I can honestly say it changed the way I travel, and how I experience the places I visit by adding a human perspective.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met so many interesting people in my travels. Couchsurfing has allowed me to truly experience the places I visit and I can't say enough positive things about it.

Now that I'm living in China and travelling all the time again I'm back on the site. I sadly live in a tiny studio apartment so hosting is a bit of a challenge, but I would love to meet up with anyone visiting Ningxia!
