Hello! I am a student studying to work in tech in the future. I have been involved in robotics competitions since high school and now studying computer science. Recently I have taken an interest in traveling, having my first experience abroad last summer. I love learning from other people's experiences and stories, especially when they present new outlooks on life beyond what I see.

In my free time I enjoy chatting over snacks and playing board games. I love dancing, especially Latin style and have done a little ballroom. I spend an obscene amount of time researching cheap flights to anywhere and taking random trips with friends to various places. Cycling and hiking are growing interests, as well as road tripping and sightseeing. Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have decided to take a gap year from school and take the opportunity to travel the world! So far I have backpacked through a bit of Western Europe and Colombia. Headed back to Europe to travel the Central Northern bit. IHoping to meet some incredible people who are willing to host me for a night and exchange stories!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got stuck in the 2016 Turkish coup in Istanbul on my way to Athens. While waiting with hundreds of others to transfer my flight, I had to help keep order among the passengers, who were anxious to get out of the country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from my travels. Open ears and a chatty mouth. A dance partner (I dance lead and follow!) Willingness to debate. Positive outlook on life.
