I'm a firm believer that honesty and openness make acquaintances become best friends. Some of my favorite pastimes are playing instruments, camping, and learning from those around me. I listen to a wide variety of music from classical to jazz to rock. I'm a huge lover of potato chips (the more flavorful the better). I'm a practicing Catholic, but love to learn about others beliefs. I ran track in high school and occaisionally feel the motivation to run.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling throughout Europe during the Spring of 2015, and some friends and I are interested in finding places to stay and people to meet along the way! I am studying abroad this semester in Madrid, have interest in learning as much as I can about other cultures and the individuals belong to them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went camping during a weekend where the temperature dropped overnight to -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Didn't turn into a White Walker.

Teach, Learn, Share
