ABOUT ME

Sorry if I don’t respond, it seems like Amsterdam is a popular destination and I am not always able to keep up :)

I'm pretty international, relaxed and like to have fun, and have lived a few different places. Work full time and get to travel at times for it too, and do a bit of research. Like to do bouldering (indoors), go see live music, occasional rave, board games, gym, occasional run / swim / cycle.

I grew up in the US (North Carolina), but spent most of my childhood in Berlin, Germany. Then went to Scotland to study, followed by a year in London and 9 years in Birmingham, UK. End of this year (2023) I have now moved to Amsterdam!! where the plan is to stay for the foreseeable future. : )

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

It's been like 8 years since I last used Couchsurfing. It was great, in Greece and in Scandinavia, and to host in Berlin - but I just got out of the habit of using it. Update: Also more recently (2023) in France, NL and Scotland.
