CURRENT MISSION

to meet others with a bad case of wanderlust like me.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young grad student living in the Chicago area. I grew up in Germany for the majority of my life. I love to travel and have made that a lifestyle choice since I was very young.
I'm an easy-going, laid back girl who is open to new experiences. I'm respectful of you and your things, so if you come to my place, I expect the same.

I play the piano and the flute, I love to dance, yoga, drink wine, and go out to eat. I read all the time and enjoy cooking. If you come stay with me, I promise I will cook for you =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well I'm new to this site, so I haven't hosted anyone yet, but I'm hoping that as I travel America, someone will be willing to host me and then once I actually get a couch, I could also host someone!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did have a couch surfer come stay with me in Tampa, and he was AWESOME. Him & I met up again in Germany as we were both from there and we had a blast. One of the greatest friends I've met. That's what peaked my interest in couch surfing. I'm hoping to meet other wonderful people and begin long-lasting friendships.
