I am an undergrad at the University of Tulsa, studying for a double major in Computer Science and Economics. I am currently lucky enough to be studying abroad for the spring 2017 semester in Madrid, Spain, at Universidad Carlos III.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was instilled with a love for travel and new experiences from a very young age. When I was eight, my parents and three younger siblings toured Europe for two months, visiting some of the major capitals and staying with the families of exchange students we had hosted previously. I've also been able to see a good chunk of the US via family roadtrips and the like.

I am extremely excited to visit new places during my semester abroad and would love to meet people who are similarly up for adventure. I enjoy all manner of exploration and excursions, from outdoor trekking to cultural immersion. I believe that spontaneity is often the key to authentic experiences and I treat everything as a potential source of learning and fun!
