Grew up in California near San Francisco, went to college in Louisiana, hiked through the Appalachian mountains in Tennessee, backpacked in New York, and drove across the United States 3+ times! I can offer great advice to travelers heading to New Orleans or the Bay Area (CA).

I lived in Istanbul and Athens the last few years, and am currently living in Berlin since 2019!

I believe in solidarity and treating all people with dignity.

I love vegetarian cooking, live local music, fluffy animals, thrift shopping, and poetry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and see the local side of each city! I also like meeting new people from different backgrounds and having friends all over the world :) Seeing the main sights of a city is still important to me when traveling, but exploring the local's favorite spots while sharing stories or ideas is what traveling is all about. I like connecting with people who are compassionate and interested in the world around them.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is Grouplove!
But I listen to all types of music and am really open minded/always down to see a live local show.

Favorite movies are Beginners and Moonrise Kingdom.

I love reading; my favorite books are always changing. But 1984 stands as #1.
