20-years-old, originally from the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate, New York, USA. I'm currently a student, finishing up my undergraduate degree in Songwriting at Berklee College of Music. I'm studying at the college's campus in Valencia, Spain while spending my weekends and semester breaks exploring Europe with my backpack.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love to travel, but am trying to explore on a college student's budget! Though it's not easy, it's definitely rewarding.
