I go to NYU where I study English Literature and Psychology. I enjoy cooking, playing games, dancing, reading/writing, and going to the beach. Am open-minded when it comes to trying new things (games, sports, food). Very interested in learning more about other cultures. First generation American with Caribbean roots. Non-smoker. Looking for friends only.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am just coming off of a semester studying abroad in London and am now preparing to study abroad again in Florence. While I was in London, I also traveled around Europe by myself. I found that, while there are benefits to travelling alone, the best experiences I had were when I found friends in the places where I stayed. I hope to use this site to find friends in foreign places and make meaningful connections during my future travels.
