Architecture student excited to do some travelling this summer! I love having good, meaningful conversations with people and just getting their perspective. I'm also the oldest young person you'll ever meet; I drink tea, listen to jazz music, and watch documentaries all the time, and will eventually own at least two cats. My backup career is Nomadic Sheep Herder in Iceland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people and have conversations with locals while I travel. I love to understand the culture of a place from a local's perspective, but even more, I like connecting with people beyond a "tour guide" perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a studio project for architecture, in which the final submission was supposed to be a jail design, but instead I proposed a restaurant where the arresting officer has a meal with the person they've just arrested. Quite the conversation starter, yeah?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach others about my perspective as an architectural student interested in social justice issues.
I can learn how to cook (I need to learn how to cook).
I can share my love for good, deep conversation and biking in the city or the countryside, and my extreme dislike of Donald Trump.
