About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible in Latin America, the region I study.

ABOUT ME

I'm a graduate student at the University of Virginia where I study Latin American History. Traveling to research in archives is the best part of my job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed some European couches while studying in Granada, Spain my junior year of undergrad, and I did a little bit of hosting. I also stayed with some lovely people in Mexico while I was doing archival work. At the moment, I'm traveling to archives in Spain and Mexico, but I might be able to host between July 8th and August 5th in Sevilla, and then again in Mexico City after September 15th.

Interests

I love cooking. I just cooked my way through a French cookbook, "My Paris Kitchen." My friend and I made every recipe in the book.

I also love reading, hiking, and being outdoors.
