Hi there! I'm originally from Colorado in the US, studied Global Studies and Human Rights at the University of Chicago, and am currently living in Vienna on a Fulbright grant! I work as an English Assistant at two high schools, take courses at the University of Vienna in the Globalgeschichte Masters Program, and am working on a project with the Wien Museum. I love learning langauges and speak German (C1) and Chinese (B1), and I just started learning Spanish this semester. I live in a studio apartment in a central part of Wien and have people over all the time to watch movies and TV on my projector, play board games, or just chill and listen to music. I'm excited to keep exploring Europe myself and host people excited to explore Vienna!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of life is meeting and getting to know other people, and traveling is the best way to do so. I’ve been in Europe for about 6 months now and I have already gotten the chance to make such amazing new friends — I’ve heard a lot about Couchsurfing and I’m excited about the opportunities it brings to connect around the world!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since my favorite part of traveling is getting to meet people, I‘m down for pretty much anything and everything! If you’re looking for someone to go to that open mic with you, desperate to fill that last spot in your escape room group, in need of another board or video game player, or simply looking for some company in exploring new parts of your city, I‘m in. You know your city best and I would love to join you temporarily in your life!
