I'm a 21 year old student who enjoys traveling; I always love to be on the road especially when I am interacting with new people, understanding different cultures and discovering other people (s) way of life. I was born and raised in the U.S., in a small state called Connecticut . In this stage of my life my only two priorities have been traveling the world and keeping up with my studies. The only thing I love more than learning and traveling is learning while traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Primarily Couchsurfing because I want to meet other people who are open to giving me insight about the city they live, their own lifestyles (culture, heritage.); information is incredibly valuable to me as I don't ever feel like i am wasting my time so as long as I am trying something new. I am new to this platform and hope to share a positive experience so that everyone within this connected planet can benefit from.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really care for a certain type of music or movie but I do enjoy reading- any book that involves discussing economic policy, mathematical principles or concepts of business. However, I am always open to learning and trying new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the 2016 Rio Olympics in Brazil to watch my cousin compete in the marathon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to share and reflect my life experiences with one another, obtaining other perspectives is something I hope everyone can embrace. I don't see myself as the all-knowing but I seek to know as much as possible, learning always offers an understanding of how much you don't know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an exciting fellow who get's along with literally anyone, I like to share my experiences but I would rather to listen to other people's experience. I am always seeking to learn and am open to basically anything. Respect is a vital characteristic that I always am keen on holding on to, I am always conscious of other people's comfort zone/ feelings and always put myself second behind other's whether I am a host or guest.
