CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a job

ABOUT ME

I finished my master's at Utrecht and after a most wonderful backpacking adventure across Europe (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Scotland, England, and France), I've moved back to MN. I'm currently living with my family while I search for a job.

***

I <3 pizza, cider, concerts, biking, puppies, dinner parties, reading, and web comics.

PHILOSOPHY

Own up to your actions. Eat good pizza. Live for the moment, sleep in tomorrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Living with my family at the moment, I do not have the space to host someone. Fingers crossed though, I'll find a decent paying job that will support me enough so I can have my own place again. I miss hosting random dance parties in the wee hours of the morning. I am happy to suggest things to do in the Twin Cities area. If you're vegetarian or vegan, I can tell you where to eat!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had amazing experiences and I know I have made friends that will last a lifetime. I look forward to returning the wonderful hospitality!
