I am here in Europe studying abroad for one semester and I am hoping to make the most of my time here by traveling as much as possible, and making connections with people from around the world! My older brother traveled through Europe using the couch surfing network and told me it was really wonderful, so I couldn't turn down an opportunity to use it! I study English literature and sociology back home, which I think just proves how much I love hearing people's stories and learning about different cultures! I am incredibly open minded. I love cooking and having great conversations with new people :) I love being around people. To me, it is about who you are with, not where you are or what you have, that gives me happiness in any situation.
