I am a designer and adventure traveler attending the University of Minnesota for architecture. Coming fresh off a semester studying architecture in Rome, Istanbul, Madrid, and Barcelona and more. Serious Case of wanderlust

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CS to travel, meet people, and eventually host. ultimately, I want to meet good people with adventurous souls and get an authentic vibe from places I visit. I have great stories from my time in the United States and my recent studies in Italy, Istanbul, and Spain, as well as a sketchbook I travel with. Would love to spend some time with the host and make some good connections, but I'm completely understanding if he or she has other obligations during my stay.

Teach, Learn, Share

Architecture and related things like software, drawing/sketching, model making and photography are all things I consider myself well versed in. I also am incredibly passionate about urban studies and city design and planning. I'm an urban biker and a craft beer fan with a love for infographics, street art, politics and history, especially the nitty-gritty local history.

Fun stories. New experiences. Great memories. New and longterm friendships.
