About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just want to experience the world!

ABOUT ME

I am 23 years old. I graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in German and a minor in History. On my free time I write music, poetry, read and cook. In 2011-2012 I studied in Tübingen, Germany. There I utilized couchsurfing to travel around. I had an awesome experience and can't wait to do it again. Hopefully, I will make my way back and live in Berlin.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept everything for what it is. Everyone has their own opinions and beliefs to be respected. I approach conversations and people ideas with an open mind and I think objectively.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am able to host, show people around, get a drink and hangout.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing is something else. It gives us the opportunity to experience a place to the fullest and understand the daily lifestyle of a native.

Interests

I am music enthusiast. I play guitar, keys, bass and I sing. Music is a path I am excited to go down. Among other things, I love to cook, talk about history, politics, life, poetry and have some great conversations.
