Hi,
I'm an American doing a postgrad at the University of Edinburgh in educational research. I grew up in a suburb a bit outside of Boston and did my undergrad at the University of Connecticut in economics and English. I'm a pretty laid back person who enjoys meeting new people and having fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting and nice people while traveling in South America and living in Edinburgh. My flatmates and I regularly host couchsurfers and I would like to continue to meet new people and learn about the world

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to pretty much every genre of music and am always down to find something new. My favorite bands include the Doors, the Grateful Dead, and Led Zeppelin. I like to watch a lot of rom-coms and dig the Big Lebowski probably more than my flatmates like. We usually watch a lot of movies, series, and anime at home. I don't read as much as I should anymore, but I particularly like poetry, short stories, and the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I nearly died last summer free-climbing a ravine in New Hampshire and once at a capybara while drunk ate a barbeque in Brasil
