London's been my home for the past couple of years, though I've grown up in the United States and Kuwait. I'm familiar with Istanbul and New York City too.

I love exploring the city's parks, art museums, restaurants and bars. Happy to offer tips and recommendations for any of the places above.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm visiting my parents in St. Augustine, Florida in September and am hoping to explore a new city or two while I'm there. Savannah is first on my list- it seems charming, fun and full of history. Grateful for any offers to host or tips about what to see, do, and eat while I'm there!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to win at backgammon and bake the most decadent cake in the world.

I'd love to learn about photography, drawing, or anything that you care deeply about!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, thoughts about the world, an adventurous attitude, tasty food and friendship.
