I am a senior at the University of Minnesota studying Strategic Communications, Middle Eastern studies, Political Science, and Public Health. I spent last spring studying abroad in Fez, Morocco. I love Indian food, traveling, learning about different cultures, indie music, and international politics, among other things. I'm interested in digital media, foreign affairs, and exploring all types of new restaurants. I'd say I'm a bubbly person who's easy-going, down-to-earth, and rational.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an almost graduated senior in my undergrad education, low on money, and looking to meet some cool new people in the destinations I visit!

Interests

Shoe shopping online, exploring new bars/restaurants, reading about foreign affairs, watching House of Cards, venturing to coffee shops and breweries, NOT cooking, yoga-sculpting, making arts and crafts, and going to live music venues.
