Hello. My name is Athena, and I'm currently a student at Yale University. I plan to major in chemical engineering, but I'm a lover of the humanities. I enjoy writing, and learning about Latin American history. Love a good horror movie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a member of a great organization called AIESEC, which works to bring international volunteers to work at local NGOs in the U.S. for six week. I'm seeking hosts for 4 awesome volunteers this January. Feel free to ask me about it!
