About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm an architecture student trying to soak up as many cool life experiences as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Not my own words, but still a nice philosophy to live by...

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." â

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm fairly new to CS... In the spring I had a term abroad in Europe & I loved the chance to experience CS more during my travels. I look forward to hosting once i'm settled at a new place in Chicago!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had been to CS events and co-hosted a couple surfers at a friend's apartment before, but the first time I was hosted was in Copenhagen-- what an unforgettable experience! If I didn't love the CS community already, meeting multiple surfers and hosts and spending time together really sold me. I love CouchSurfing & the people in the CS community!

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied Spanish for 5 years and although I'm not fluent I enjoy practicing with anyone who's patient enough, whether you want to learn the little I know, or teach me!

I also love cooking but am definitely still learning...
