I am a graduating student from the US getting ready to ready to travel throughout Europe before joining the workforce life! I studied abroad in Europe during the Spring of 2013, and this time around, I am looking to obtain a more immersive experience in the places that I plan to visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of Couchsurfing because you get a more authentic perspective on the culture and community of a town/city. I was introduced to Couchsurfing in Bologna, and I had an amazing experience that gave me such a better impression of the city than if I had stayed in a hostel. I wish I had spent more time doing this the last time I traveled abroad.

Interests

I attend the University of North Carolina (yes, Michael Jordan!) and love everything UNC sports.

I worked for a startup company for two summers, so I always enjoy hearing about new ideas and companies, especially in the fields of technology and education.

Just like everybody else on here, I love meeting new people and learning about all different types of backgrounds and lifestyles!
