I am from the United States and am working for a year as an au pair in Amsterdam. I just graduated from college and while I am in the Netherlands I am learning Dutch but also trying to keep up the Italian I learned in school.

When in a new place I love walking around aimlessly, stumbling upon cool spots, and trying local cuisine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore Europe, get to know new people and learn about new places from locals.
