Hi! I'm a grad student at Santa Clara, working to become a high school math teacher. I love reading, hiking, cooking, traveling, learning new languages, and hanging out with my dog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know locals and make friends while exploring new places. I couchsurfed around Europe last fall with my best friend and it was an amazing experience.
