I am a student of international relations, right now doing school in Nanjing, China. I am easy going and am always down for a challenge/adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing since I am about to embark on my first experience solo traveling through India. I am super excited by this, especially with the freedom that comes with solo traveling. But, I mean, who wouldn't want to have the experience of staying with someone in the place you are visiting? This, to me, sounds like an incredible opportunity to make new friends and learn local things as I roam.

Interests

This is hard to say since I am interested in so many things, so I will just put the things that make me most happy:

-- Beach volleyball or anything with sand
-- Loud Music that makes your feet move uncontrollably
-- Board / Card Games since I am very good at these and everyone is always laughing
-- Exploring
