I’m 25 years old and getting ready to start a new chapter of my life in Boston. I’ve lived in San Jose, CA, for 9 years, right outside Raleigh, NC, for 7 years, in Chicago for 6 years, and Cork, Ireland, for 1 year. I’ve studied abroad in Seville, Spain, and Istanbul, Turkey. I love traveling and getting to know new places and people. I speak Spanish pretty well, and I speak a little Turkish. I have a degree in classical flute performance that I don’t really use now, but I still love playing for fun. I love reading all kinds of books, and I love writing poetry and creative nonfiction. I do yoga once a week and love all water sports

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe traveling should be accessible to everyone, and free accommodation goes a long way toward making that happen. And the cultural exchange that couchsurfing facilitates is amazing

Moved to Cork City, Ireland, for a year on a working holiday authorization.

Teach, Learn, Share
