From Chicago, studying in Atlanta and doing a year-long exchange in Munich. I study environmental engineering, am vegetarian and love dogs and spicy food :). I love learning about the world in many different ways esp. through talking to people and reading (both of which allow you to see life through another perspective). Traveling is the breath that gives me life and feeds the soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people you meet while traveling are what make the experience what it is. From every new person, new connection, something is learned and exchanged, which to me is invaluable. I'm on couchsurfing to meet the people who will change the way I think and see the world. Also couch surfers tend to be a fun bunch and I'm usually down for an adventure or two :p
