I'm a history major studying at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY (USA). I arrived in Bristol in January '16 and this is my first time beyond the Northeast, so traveling is very new for me!

At my home in CT I have 2 golden retrievers, 2 guinea pigs, and a cat, so I'm a massive animal lover. In the summers I'm the director of music at a performing arts camp and work with kids age 5-17. After college I'm hoping to join the Peace Corps and work in an education program. When I return I'd like to get a masters in education and teach secondary social studies!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Studying abroad in Europe and looking for student-friendly travel options

Interests

I sing, play the flute, pretend to play the piano, and am a music lover.
