PLEASE READ: I just moved out of Spain, and I won't have an official new home until September, which will be in Belgium. I will be solo backpacking for July/August in Europe (Malta, Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy)...and will be happy to open my new home in Belgium to surfers when the time comes!

About Me:
-love nature as if it were a being...because it is
-protect our oceans
-smile that you are living
-always say yes to beer and new foods
-be conscious of other cultures

I am studying in Europe during 2018-2020 for an Erasmus master’s program in Marine Environment Resources (MER+). I so far finished two semesters in France and Spain, and my next one is Belgium!

I wouldn't put my self in one category...everything depends on the vibesss. Quiet nature hikes and camping and chilling with some cold beer make me happy but I also love partying and going out. I try to east mostly healthy but I'm American and I love fried food in big portions too xD There's a right place and time for everything :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people around the world and learning about their different life perspectives and cultures. What better way to do that than in the comfort of someone’s home?
I’m from New York (not the city, but close) so many friends have stayed with me and my family — it’s always nice to experience a new place like a local. I hope to improve the languages I am learning, and perhaps to learn some new ones!

Also, I've come to realize that it's not just the places you go that make the traveling experience, but the kindness of others and the happiness you can share.

Music, Movies, and Books

sci-fi and philosophy books or books about the environment

Music -- it ranges depending on my mood. But I love reggae, alternative, old rock, hip hop, American rap, and golden oldies, and recently samba

Movies...there's just too many. But extra point if you like The Beach (super underrated Leonardo DiCaprio film)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-scuba dived in Honduras and Israel
-ran half a marathon in Spain
-many cool nature experiences...but those I will keep for stories ;)
