Simply put, I love people, culture, and ideas in all its forms and have always had a great time learning more about people's passions and what they want the world to look like.

A core belief of mine is people all over the world should be free to live fulfilling lives and not be limited by the structures around them. This means challenging institutions where necessary and bridging gaps in understanding.

Humor is a key part of who I am, so I like to bond with people through laughing at the ridiculous.

I also love getting hype at any party, but can also have an incredible conversation after.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CURRENT TRIPS

March 21-24: New York, NY, USA

April 18-23: Toronto, ON, Canada

I am in my last year of college and I honestly want (NEED) to be able to connect with friends, both new and old, without having to pay money. Haha.

I also think the vision of Couchsurfing helps reimagine a world where people can host one another without expecting a material transaction. People should be open to connecting everywhere without feeling
