Hi! I'm from Dallas, Texas and graduated from university in 2012. I quit my job as a Legal Analyst after 3 years to travel the world. In 2019, I moved to Milan, Italy to study a Masters degree in Service Design. Now I live in a small town in Austria designing software.

I'm open minded, easy going, love being active, and have a very dry sense of humor. I like going out for a drink and people watching, or staying in and binging on a TV series. But while I'm traveling, I like to be outdoors and experience as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had the most memorable experiences (good and bad!) using Couchsurfing, and the hosts and couchsurfers I've met on my travels constantly restore my faith in humanity.

Interests
