Originally from the United States of America, I've lived in Jerusalem and Thailand in the past, as well as a summer in Indonesia three years ago. I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in International Relations and then found myself working in the creative and non-profit world. I was an Assistant Curator at an Art Museum in the U.S. before I left my job to pursue living my best life in Indonesia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I arrived in Indonesia the first thing I did was run into a couch surfer at dinner in Jakarta. Before we had even exchanged names I was invited to go salsa dancing, where I met a previous host the couch surfer had stayed with. I immediately realized the amazing community that could be found here, and was eager to become a part of it. Especially since I'm now living abroad on a student budget.
