CURRENT MISSION

I am currently traveling throughout Europe with my friend, Nick! I want to meet as many local people and travelers during my adventure. :)

ABOUT ME

I am a recent grad from UC Santa Barbara in central California where I studied biology. Before traveling, I worked in a lab making basal media which is used for cell culture. My plans after I come back from Europe are to find what my purpose in life is! I believe everyone has their purpose and I still haven't found mine, but maybe my travels will help me find my way. Orrrr I'll just wander Europe forever. :D

I really enjoy getting to know new people and learning about their lifestyles. I like listening to their stories and hopefully make new ones along the way! I love to explore new cities and take a turn towards something that looks interesting and unknown.

I just want to have a good time with good people and good food! We only have one life to live, so might as well enjoy the hell out of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first experience with Couchsurfing and traveling, so this is all new to me. I think it is really cool that people are willing to open up their homes to random strangers from across the globe. I love meeting new people and when it comes to traveling, I want to fully emerge myself into the culture. Hostels are nice for meeting other travelers, but it makes it a little more difficult to meet people that know the area and its secrets. I hope after some great experiences being a guest, I will be able to host over here in California!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences with hosts in London and Dublin have been awesome! People are so open and willing to help out with what to do in their hometown and even take you on awesome hikes! When I get back to California, I definitely want to host.
