hmm I am a queer aspiring activist human who is currently studying biomedical engineering at georgia tech I've lived basically my whole life in atlanta with the exception of the past year I've been living in stuttgart and erlangen in germany. I love to draw, paint, run, hike, go camping, watch movies, and idk im pretty much up for anything and like to try new things. I'm working currently as a designer/biomedical engineer in Germany.

I'm am using couch surfing not only as a way to travel cheaper, but also as means to meet new people and see what they find beautiful about their hometown and to just expand my cultural understanding and share lived experiences.

I'm pretty laid back and easy going, also a bit shy at times. I'm always up for new things. I want to be spontaneous and experience all that I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to utilize this cheaper method of traveling, but also find it a great way to learn about other cultures, people, and the city from a non tourist point of view. I think it's a good way to throw myself into a spontaneous situation and get great new experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are a lot of amazing things i feel like I've experienced, however, I wouldn't say I was necessarily the one to take credit for these things. Most amazing things I've been involved with have been a joint effort of many people.

Maybe one thing that im personally proud of is transitioning (I'm transgender). That is one personal struggle that I've been successful in doing for myself, but I was helped a lot by other along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what I supposed write here. But I suppose I can offer some sign language, german, english. I can help with resources on transgender/LGBTQQIA* issues or topics. Id like to learn whatever any one is willing to teach. Id like to improve the spanish, learn french, learn to cook cool things, get better at bouldering and rock climbing.
