Hey there! I'm from a suburb of Chicago, IL, and I recently graduated from university in Houston, Texas after studying sociology. In the fall, I'll be attending medical school in Chicago. I love photography (I mostly shoot portraits) and really enjoy listening to rap and indie electric music. I pride myself on my empathy and loyalty for friends. By changing my social context and experiencing brand new cultures, I hope to learn more about the world, about others, and about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a great way to meet people you otherwise wouldn't and form lasting friendships and memories. Each person has a story, and I want to know as many as I can before I settle in one place.
