Oi! I am a senior at Mount Holyoke College, graduating in May of 2017! (Yikes!) I am a neuroscience major and will be going into the field of research beginning in the fall of 2017. I am an avid traveler, hiker, skier, and horseback rider. I have my own horse Kashi who lives with me in Maine and who also comes with me to school! I complete on two riding teams in college and have also rowed crew during my four years. Last spring, I lived and studied in Australia for six months which changed my life and brought me great happiness! I am super fun, very outgoing, and love meeting new people from all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Throughout my young adult life, I have realized more and more that my favorite part of my trips often stem from the people I meet and the connections I make. I am often alone, so for me its much more fun to meet and stay with other people (I love hostel's) than to stay alone. This winter, I am traveling with my brother to Iceland and would LOVE to stay with some super duper Icelanders and learn as much about the country and its locals as possible!
