26 years old currently living in Stockholm, Sweden. From Chicago, but lived in Quito, Ecuador for the previous 2 years. Currently pursuing my master's degree in international education. Looking to explore the world!

Just moved to a new apartment, small but cozy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool people while traveling! The best way to get to know a place is to hang out with locals. I'm very sociable and outgoing so I want to meet other cool fun people. Plus, I like to see the real side of cities/towns, not just the touristy aspects.

Interests

Traveling, cooking, outdoor activities (hiking biking kayaking camping snowboarding), learning languages, reading, salsa dancing, watching Netflix, karaoke, tattoos, meeting new people!
