I am a junior studying International Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle. I grew up moving all around the United States with my family, so travel has always been in my blood. I love reading, hiking, swimming, architecture, and exploring new cuisine (especially learning to cook it!) I consider myself to be pretty laid back, but respectful of others spaces and needs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want experience more of the world, and to meet amazing people along the way. My eventual goal is to work with a large international organization of some sort as a lawyer. A large part of being in international law having a good understanding of intercultural communication, and this is the perfect atmosphere to get hands on experience. I love that more personal aspect of couch surfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived on my own for two months when I was 16, which isn't necessarily amazing but it helped me grow up.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can help people practice more English. Looking to build my Italian skills, and grow my French and Spanish (limited). I know a lot about coffee, and can share any knowledge you may want.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook and bake for you, share my experiences from the US, and help tidy up in any way I can.
I am also down to share good times, and will buy you a few drinks at the local bar for your kindness if hosting me.
