i'm an adventurous woman taking a year off of school and traveling Europe before moving to Israel/Palestine for at least 6 months! i'm goofy but also can be very serious. i'm open-minded and am hoping to meet people while i travel! i'm a good listener and love to share stories with the people I meet.

i am really into international politics, religion, and journalism/writing.

i love to read, write, chat, drink coffee, hike, drink beer, cook food, share meals, create community ... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'm traveling the world (well part of it) for the upcoming year and couldn't think of a better way to meet new people and fully immerse myself in new cultures :)
