I am a fourth year Senior at San Francisco State University studying International Relations and Global Peace, Human Rights and Justice Studies. I currently live in San Francisco, California but grew up in Boston, Massachusetts.

I believe in advocacy of equality, equity, diversity and inclusivity. The truest form of understanding is listening to stories, stories of underrepresented, undocumented, and marginalized communities. I believe listening promotes immense growth, not only as an individual but as a community. Believing in humanity takes cultural understanding, empathy and compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and experience new cultures & customs. I study International Relations and it has given me so much knowledge about the world. Traveling helps me put what I have learned into action. I love experiencing first hand from listening to stories from locals and how they've come to be where they are in life. We have one incredible life to live and there is no time like the present to experience all that this life has to offer.
