Hello! I grew up in an international family (New Zealand, America, Germany) and am always eager to travel. After graduating from Dartmouth College I made my way to Seattle and tried on the whole 'career' adult life as a software engineer at Microsoft. After 3 years I had learned a lot -- my skills as an engineer had grown tremendously -- but most importantly I learned that I did not find such a life fulfilling! I'm currently 'mucking around' with personal projects and planning longer term travel. I love geeking out about computer science, education, cooking, and financial independence!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet up with other travelers, and host people while I'm still here in Seattle! I live with my boyfriend and dog in an apartment about two miles from downtown and the Space Needle and on some main bus routes so it's a pretty decent place to stay while seeing the city.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I was once a Rodeo Princess and won a 'Donkey Race' (riding donkeys across the rodeo arena -- it was a sort of half time entertainment!)
