CURRENT MISSION

Loving our neighbors as ourselves.

ABOUT ME

In 2009, I lived in Brooklyn with other CSers and had a total ball.
Then, for two years, I lived in Seoul in a little studio, while teaching and traveling. I finished my first Master's in May 2012 and then spent an amazing summer giving presentations of my research and hiking all over, and then moved to in rural West Virginia, getting a glimpse of a totally different pace of life!
I'm now working toward a second Master's degree at Princeton Seminary, and loving it. Come visit!

PHILOSOPHY

Time takes time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to get to know new people, hang out, make some music! I've surfed in the US and in Europe, as well as on several trips in Asia. I really got to experience hosting while living in our CS-apartment in Brooklyn, and have hosted in Illinois and the Czech Republic, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of them. Surfing in Berlin was pretty exceptional: I shared a room with 13 people and had the time of my life. Lots of <3!
