CURRENT MISSION

Graduate university, learn German, learn to cook more things

ABOUT ME

I'm from California. I'm a languages student in my last year of university. When I graduate I'll probably go to graduate school to become a translator or something like that. I like meeting people and love traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Spend money on experiences, not things. Prioritize well-being and connections with fellow humans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm looking to surf, but once I have my own living space (ie, not living with 2-8 other people) I plan to host as well :) I'm happy to meet up with travelers in my area and show them around!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couchsurfed through the site yet, but I've used airbnb several times in several countires and in Madrid slept on the couch of a girl i met at a hostel in Amsterdam. All good experiences.
