I lived in Boston for 4 years for college at MIT, where I recently graduated with a major in Chemical Engineering and a minor in Music. Most of my travel experiences have been the result of opportunities with my university. I am now living in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using Couchsurfing to meet other solo travelers while hostel hopping around Europe/Southeast Asia! I love meeting new people and engaging in cultural exchanges!

Teach, Learn, Share

I absolutely love sharing music and travel stories with hosts and other Couchsurfers! I also like learning about the culture, history, and architecture in each new city I visit. I've taught math/science subjects in Spanish and Italian high schools and love learning about other countries' education systems while sharing insights into my personal American university experience.
