Californian born and bread. Grew up in Oakland California and attend college at UCLA. I'm studying biology, but am unsure where my passion for wildlife will take me in the future. I run cross country and track, but also enjoy hiking and experiencing the outdoors. I'm just trying to broaden my horizons and see everything this world has to offer 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling around Europe for several weeks this summer with my best friend. We WWOOFed in Ireland and are now headed to the mainland. It's my first time in Europe and I want to experience places firsthand and meet new people. Have heard great stories about couch surfing and ready to make some memories of my own.

Interests

Hiking, running, travel, and wildlife conservation. Conversely I also love the observe the setup of cities and marginalization. Oakland, California is my home and growing up in such an urban environment has sparked a curiosity in diversity and how people interact.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Harry Potter (my childhood), Great Expectations
Music: The Beatles, Adele, and anything in between.

What I Can Share with Hosts
