ABOUT ME

Travel addict, coffee addict (where will tomorrow's cup come from?!), and pretty spontaneous. I love meeting new folks abroad, am really easygoing, and am terrible at sticking to plans that extend more than one day into the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed with generous and lovely hosts in Lebanon, Israel, Greece, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Morocco, and Chile, and I've hosted many a pal in the States, as well as a CS dinner at my apartment in San Francisco. I like to make pancakes for visitors.

Interests

I'm a nonfiction writer and language enthusiast who studied International Relations as an undergraduate... but lets be real, all I really want to do is wander the globe. I'm into Arabic, Spanish, French, backpacking, hiking, outdoor sports in general, aerial acrobatics and modern dance, politics, and walking around new cities until my legs fall off. I spend what money I make on travel.
