Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I discovered couchsurfing while traveling the world on a fellowship that allowed me to study the intricacies of the relationship between science and art in winemaking. I am a bit wine-obsessed, but also count yoga, food, and the outdoors as among my favorite things. I am equally content going out on the town, sightseeing (particularly just walking around places, not necessarily going to the most popular sites), or staying in to have a good conversation.
PHILOSOPHY
with all the travel i've done, i've begun to realize the importance of getting out and connecting with people to really understand a place. to me there's nothing better than that.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Life is a bit all over the place right now, but contact me and we'll see what we can work out. Maybe just a coffee or a recommendation of something to see or somewhere to go, or if I'm around, my boyfriend and I would be happy to host you!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've surfed in Europe and New Zealand so far, and have had wonderful experiences every time.
