I'm from Boston MA studying international law in the Netherlands for a semester and trying to see some of Europe before heading back home. I'm very low-maintenance and easy to get along with, and would be very happy to learn as much as possible from the different cultures and lifestyles I experience while here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to get to know the people of the places I visit- hotels have always been impersonal and undesirable to me. I love meeting new people and sharing little bits of life with the people that I stay with.

Interests

Traveling off the beaten path, really getting to know a place. I play street hockey and rugby, both of which I love. I'm passionate about the rights of indigenous communities in the world and have a soft spot for Latin music and cuisine.
