Hi everyone! I study poetry and the history of science at NYU. I can read Latin, Greek, and French, and I am learning to speak German (I'm A2.2). I grew up in a small town and now live in New York City. My hobbies include running, epee fencing, and creative writing. I enjoy hearing stories and telling them, so I look forward to meeting new people on my travels!

I am clean and don't take up much space.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a graduate student I have to keep a tight budget. But as someone who has informally hosted couch surfers before, I can say that it is a great way to meet new people and get to know an individual.
