I can start out my introduction by giving a few fun facts about myself. I'm a Ravenclaw at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and instead of Quidditch, I played tennis throughout high school. I'm a student at the University of Texas in Austin studying business and sociology. My interests include landscape and portrait photography, volunteering and community service, reading self-improvement, personal financial literacy, and fiction books, and experiencing new cultures and environments. I would like to think I am a really easygoing person who is quick to smile and tries to maintain a positive mindset. I love meeting new people and getting to hear people's story because everyone experiences life differently and I find each individuals story to be fascinating. Traveling has been my passion for as long as I can remember because I feel myself growing as a person and pushing the limits every time I travel and meet new people. I would love to make friends from all around the world, so I would love to hear your story and get to know you better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason I'm on Couchsurfing is that I want to meet people from all around the world. I feel like this is the same answer everyone gives so please let me explain. Through traveling, I have met some of my greatest friends and have made some unforgettable memories with strangers. Traveling holds a special place in my heart and I believe to truly understand a culture and a city, it is best to live with a local and experience the culture through their eyes. Another reason I'm on Couchsurfing is that as a student I'm drowning in school debt so I really don't want to pay for a hostel and I would like to help other people do the same.
