Currently studying abroad in Venice, Italy for the next 4 months. Trying to live as economical as possible. When my program comes to an end in May, my mother is flying over from the US and we will try to backpack our way around Europe. I have never done couch surfing before, but I would love to give it a try. I am very charismatic and pleasant to be around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a college student on a tight budget. I am also very interested in meeting personable and spunky people from around the world, and I feel like this is an excellent opportunity to do so.

Interests

Boston U, pre-med kid studying physiology and sculpture. I love sunflowers, music, making music, water, smiles, sleeping, positivity, open-mindedness, nature, animals, intellectualism, kayaking, sincerity, living, breathing, learning, family, exploring, traveling, and laughing, To be honest, I ain't too crazy about the opposite of those things (all except for sleeping).

I aspire to be a musical smiley bones doctor, essentially. I love smiles and I love being the reason for them. :)
