I love having new and unafraid conversations. Sometimes those types of conversations are usually better had with strangers, than with friends.

I live in Houston, Texas, and when I say it is one of the most diverse places in America, it always surprises many people outside of the state. Come here, and I will show you around and prove it to you! I have bounced back-and-forth between living here and in NYC, but I am almost certain that I am settled here now... I think ;)

I grew up in Germany and traveled throughout much of Europe as a child; but I have not been able to travel as much internationally as I would like to as an adult. My family moved to the states, and I have resided in the US ever since, to nearly every state.

I love art, music, history, and politics/international relations. I am an avid foodie, I haven't met a cuisine that I will not try (or not try to make). I'm not an athlete or a workaholic, but I must admit that I have an incredibly tough time staying still for too long. My 'relaxing/resting' days never stay lax for too long.

I have been living my life single without any kiddos, but I do have some wonderful pups who share my space with me, but they do not travel with me unless it's a road trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
