I'm a junior at the University of Pennsylvania studying Spanish and Business. I've lived in Spain for 7 months, Argentina for 2, and traveled to over 30 other countries around the world.

I'm new to Couchsurfing, but am confident that this is a community I can both add to and learn a lot from. I'm outgoing, am always down for an adventure, enjoy getting to know new places, always look for locals' recommendations for food / culture, and am open to unexpected experiences.

Oh, and I value people with good music / movie taste, and those who can ask and answer though-provoking questions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm young, looking to understand more about the world and myself, and believe that a fantastic way of going about that is by meeting people whose lives different vastly from mine. I also believe in breaking routine / growing by being in unfamiliar situations and foresee Couchsurfing as a platform yielding many unexpected opportunities. Plus, the budget-friendly aspect of the site would make my travel more sustainable and allow me to take my savings further: I can see more places, meet more people, etc. which is what I truly long to do.
