CURRENT MISSION

Meet lots of new friends in Cincinnati

ABOUT ME

I moved to the US when I was 10 years old and have been struggling to keep up my German ever since. It's hard to stay fluent in a language you hardly ever speak. I like to surround myself with foreign music, foods, and friends. It helps make the USA feel more like home.

PHILOSOPHY

A cup of tea will always make things better.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed at Andreu's place in Mataro, Spain, Carrie and Rick's in Seattle and have hosted many, many couchsurfers in Dallas and Saint Louis.
