Getting my BA in Anthropology and Biology at a small liberal arts school in NYC. I just finished a year of exchange in Palestine where I studied Arabic and anthropology courses. I'm 21 years old and I'm from Madison, WI; a place I love to go home to. My parents and younger brother still live there. My favorite past-time is spending too much money on books, which is a big problem because my backpack is already about to burst.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being able to meet new people and hear about their experiences in the city they love are two reasons why I enjoy traveling so much. Seeing a city through someone else's eyes makes it much more meaningful and personal. I have always loved exploring new places and couch surfing makes it all a million times easier and more interesting.

Interests

I love cafes and book stores, even better if the two are combined. I love to cook and bake, especially things that involve chocolate.
