About Me

A clumsy college student who is looking to travel the world. I am finishing up my undergraduate degree in politics and biology. Looking to apply to grad schools because I want to be in more debt. Decently well traveled? I recently returned stateside from studying abroad in England. I desperately miss the ability to travel at the drop of a dime at a reasonable cost. Looking to travel and explore!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling, but as a broke college student in 4 figures of debt...my options are limited. I enjoy meeting new people and am happy to share my space (albeit limited).
