My name is Mayan Hennemeyer and I have just recently (May 2015) graduated university in New York City with a degree in Industrial Deisgn and Printmaking. I am born in Senegal but my father is German/American and my mother is Rwandan. I have spent my life moving from country to country with my family, and now I do so on my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the experience of traveling and meeting new people. I would love to say one day that I have visited every country on earth.

Interests

I am interested in pretty much everything. from all things art related to astrology to biology. There is no subject that I find particularly dull.
