About Me

Hello! I’m more interested in getting to know people than seeing tourist sites. I have an open mind and I love making new friends! Connecting with people is very important to me, so I joined Couchsurfing to have cool experiences all over the world. I like to have deep discussions but that sounds pretty dumb on paper, so you’d better just meet me so we can figure out what that means! I took a gap year last year and it changed my life. Many of my favorite experiences were thanks to Couchsurfing meetups.

Really hoping I'll get to give back to this community by hosting travelers in my college dorm room for up to 3 days. I can show you underground nightlife if we plan in advance, take you to techno parties, and take to you some of my college lectures. Praying that this pandemic ends soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people around the world, make new friends, and I can’t afford to stay in a hostel or hotel every night. I really believe in sharing and communal living, and I hope to give back as I've gotten so much in my travels.
