Hi! I moved to Prague from the US in July 2015 to teach English and I’ve been living in this amazing city ever since. Now I’m working on a masters in Irish Literature at Charles University.

I can host and I'm definitely down to meet up and show you some of my favorite spots in town. Prague is absolutely one of the most beautiful cities in the world and there is SO MUCH to see here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've fallen in love with traveling and, while hostels can be fun, couchsurfing seems like a great way to meet locals and to see the real hearts of cities. And I'm hoping to meet interesting people from all over the world and host once I'm settled in Prague.

Interests

Absoutely love reading and writing: two favorite authors are David Foster Wallace and Kerouac, but so many others have inspired me as well. Love films of all sorts. Played ice hockey growing up and through college, but I tend to run more than anything else. Traveling, exploring new cities/cultures, trying new things and taking risks are all good things.
