CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hello! I hail from San Francisco and am living in Dunedin with some family friends for a few months. I'm looking for friends to explore the city and surrounding areas with before I leave. I enjoy seeing live music, good beer, seeing movies and cooking! I was a cook in college and have also been a chef in a sweet music venue in Washington, D.C. I am moving to Berlin in September for graduate school and I'd especially like to talk to Germans in the area so I can learn German!

PHILOSOPHY

I am content exploring. That's it. I can't be stationary. I love absorbing cultures, whether it be music, philosophies, food, monuments, life stories. I simply like learning about other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always available for coffee and to explore the area!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some great people through Couch Surfing, and every experience is memorable.

Interests

I think my favorite thing to do is meander around a city with a cup of coffee and a friend to show me around. Other than that, I like cooking, reading, making movies, and of course music. I love learning new languages, and studied Arabic, French and Russian while I was in college.
