About Me

Hello! Oi!

I am currently a landscape architecture student studying in New York with an interest for environmental science and a passion for art! I live an environmentally conscious, low-waste lifestyle and am in the process of becoming a zero-waste, minimalist. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, playing guitar, visiting museums, and practicing yoga. I have a background in musical theater and love attending musical performances, art festivals, and creative spaces of that sort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I seek to explore new places, make friends, and learn- about cultures, languages, histories and everything in between! More specifically, I am looking study urban landscapes of European cities in hopes to acquire a greater understanding of urban planning while immersing myself in beautiful landscapes.

What I Can Share with Hosts
