I'm a twenty-one year old student, graduating from Rice University in Houston, Texas in May with a degree in Economics and English. I play soccer, a little bit of guitar, and I write.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm spending three months in Buenos Aires right after Argentina to write a book, thanks to the help of a scholarship from the Rice University English Department. I don't know anyone there and my Spanish is functional at best, so I'm counting on the kindness of strangers to help me get by!
