I'm a student at Northwestern University currently studying Economics. I'm from New Jersey, but I've spent a lot of time in Philadelphia, Ohio, New York City, and Chicago. I hope I can spread positivity, patience, and acceptance where ever I travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To truly understand the places I visit, not just look at them. Experiential living is the most important way I know to grow in travel, and seeing a new place through the lens of someone who has spent time there helps me gain a broader understanding of the culture there as well. I also strongly believe in promoting a culture of non transactional relationships, where our culture is built on friendship and love, not money.
