CURRENT MISSION

To spelunk Europe's cities!

ABOUT ME

I am currently doing a semester abroad at the University of Nottingham and am itching to traverse Europe's many landscapes and frolic through its lush fields.

Otherwise, I am a psychology student at Reed College in lovely Portland, Oregon. I want to be Clarice Starling from The Silence of the Lambs when I grow up (except for the whole FBI part).

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice. Don't panic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I tried surfing in the ocean once -- it led to bruised limbs and egos. Hopefully, a couch's pillows are more cushioning.

Interests

Exploring the numerous culinary possibilities involving rice, people watching, Guinness, air guitaring to "Bohemian Rhapsody," psychopathology, puns

• surfing
