I'm an art history student with a passion for traveling. I enjoy being outdoors, reading a good book, and getting to know new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love having the opportunity to travel and stay with locals. When I'm in a new country or visiting a new city I prefer experiencing the everyday life of a native as opposed to sticking to a tourist's schedule. Getting to know people from around the world is a passion of mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While living in France I was able to meet two Holocaust survivors and a French Freedom Fighter who had been interned in a concentration camp. Over dinner we discussed their lives before the camps, their internment, and their struggles after being liberated. This life-changing experience gave me a new appreciation for my life and a passion for human rights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love taking friends to museums and discussing artists and their works.

I have an open mind and am always excited to learn new things, such as listening to new bands or getting to know the area I'm visiting.
