I'm in my fourth year of university in Santa Barbara. I will be graduating with a degree in Communication and Language, Culture & Society, hopefully work on a minor and study abroad for a fifth year. I want to explore different cultures and ways of thinking, and learn more about myself through my encounters with new and amazing people. I studied abroad in Japan for a full calendar year ('14-'15) and had an amazing experience. Looking to find more of those experiences wherever and whenever I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling abroad next year in Europe and want to get some couchsurfing experience near home, before I go for it in another country!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

>I sat in a natural hot spring in a mountain in the northern island of Japan, surrounded by good friends and kind strangers, enjoying the sulfuric waters as the November snow fell around us. Yeah, it was magical.
