I'm in my mid-20s and have loved traveling ever since studying abroad in Italy in college and volunteering on a sheep farm in Norway. I've enjoyed learning about many different cultures, exploring new places with new friends met traveling, and getting welcomed into local homes through volunteer and homestay opportunities.

I currently live and work in Los Angeles, where I'm consistently exposed to new cultures, new friends, and new perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is so unique and allows people to truly share their unique cultures. Staying in hostels is great, but being able to live side-by-side with locals offers a much more authentic experience of the culture. Also, it inherently encourages camaraderie and friendship.

I want to meet people all over and get to see the world from their perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Unfortunately, country is up there for me. However, I do listen to alternative, pop, rock, and hip-hop. Really, I'm open to anything.

Movies: Huge fan of the Dark Knight Trilogy. Anything Christopher Nolan makes, really. Also, really enjoyed Midnight in Paris, The Intouchables, or any other movie that makes me consider life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an open-minded young person ready to explore the lives of others, while also desiring to give back as much as possible to those around me. I'm looking forward to new friends, whether they last a day or many more years to come.
