Born and raised in New England! Spent my first semester abroad in Prato, Italy and love to travel. Studying Political Science and Global Studies with a minor in Graphic Design.

I like to go with the flow and am usually down for whatever. I love simple nights at home with the people I love but also enjoy nights out meeting all types of people. I am a lover of life and try to live up every second. I think there's so much to do in this world and I want to do it all!

I have surfed twice (Paris & Brussels) which sadly does not come on my profile because it was through a friend and her personal account.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through couchsurfing, I can meet locals and really get a feel of the culture. Though I have only couchsurfed twice, I am hoping to do it for all of my travels because I had such a lovely experience. The people I have met through this never fail to amaze me. I am hoping that when I return to the states, I can offer my home as a place for people to stay in New Haven. My tiny city has so much to explore, and nothing would bring me more pleasure than showing people around! P.s. I am a foodie so we will always eat good :o)

Teach, Learn, Share

I wish I could say I have one super skill but I don't. I do love to read and am a mediocre drawer so I can always recommend books and draw one of my doodles for you :)
I love to learn about different cultures and other peoples travels. It's always been my biggest interest. When I was younger I would save every penny I would get from the tooth fairy, birthdays, etc. and told people it was for the day I can finally travel the world! I also had a "Mexican" themed bedroom when I was 9 because I loved the culture so much hahaha
