About Me

👋 I am currently living in Burlington, Vermont where I studied International Relations and am now looking to travel around for the next year or so and then get back to school!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people and making new friends! It is the best way to learn about as many new cultures in the most authentic way possible by gaining new perspectives of the different ways people live. I just love to hear about people's options on things and different views of the world and how we all fit into it.

It is nice to travel in this way because you can avoid only seeing certain parts of the city that are very crowded and touristy just because they're the easiest to get to and from from the larger hotels or even hostels. It is also nice to get to show someone your favorite parts of where you live and I'd love the opportunity to do that as well!

I joined for an upcoming trip I am taking to Spain but already I can tell that this community will serve me well for years to come!
