CURRENT MISSION

Trying to gain different perspectives. Learning as many languages as I can. Currently trying to finish my Arabic studies, then either French or Farsi!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old college student finishing up my degree in International Relations and Arabic. I love meeting people and going on adventures. I've lived all over the United States, including Los Angeles and Boston. I live in Austin, Texas for school but my heart is set on Montreal next. I love to cook and read. I love writing and listening to music. I drink a lot of tea (Moroccan tea has my heart). I'm curious, passionate, and ready to explore. Let me cook you a meal and lets trade stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Occasionally I'll meet people from couchsurfing on day trips. I haven't hosted because of dorm restrictions but I hope to soon. I also have used couchsurfing when traveling, which I plan to use while I'm abroad!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed once before and met a few people off couchsurfing to go see things during the day!

Interests

I enjoy traveling and learning languages. I'm into books of all different genres and I'm reading most of the time. I love learning about new cultures. I spend most of my free time studying and volunteering, but I've been known to Poetry slams are a weekly thing and concerts to random bands are always fun. I also enjoy fencing (sabre), though I've been known to dabble in Irish Step Dance, basketball, and lacrosse. I spend a lot of time volunteering and wandering around to find new and interesting things.

Learn: How to cook food from different cultures, how to sew/knit, better spanish, read music, and French! The local hole-in-the-walls!

Share: My experiences and travels. Pictures and weird stories. Some form of food or another. A bottle of wine!
