Hey everyone! I'm an American expat currently living in Utrecht. I've been here since April 2022 and still feel like I've got a lot to learn about the city and the Netherlands as a whole, but maybe I can show you around and we can learn some things together.

I love spending time outdoors -- hiking, canoeing, camping, snowboarding, and more -- and I love trying new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see what this community is all about. Couchsurfing seems like a great opportunity to host and meet people who I otherwise would never cross paths with. I'm hoping to expand my network and my perspective through conversation and shared experience.
