I'm a California native, Colorado transplant, and graduate student who will be interning in Boston, traveling to Europe, and studying in Chicago within the next six months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is by far the most fun, welcoming, and generous community I have ever encountered. I thought this site would offer me just a roof over my head and instead I've had the privilege to build amazing friendships all over the world. Honestly, I could not be more grateful for the home I have found in this organization and the friends I've shared with.

Interests

I love traveling, yoga, hiking, volleyball, reading, cooking, dancing, guitar, good music, red wine, IPAs, and sharing with people from other cultures.
