Hey there :) My name is Mack - I'm a recent graduate from university in Houston, Texas studying Political Science, Latin American Studies, and Chemistry! I'm an avid volunteer and travel enthusiast always looking for ways to see the world, do my part, and connect with amazing people and cultures!

This year I am travelling the world to study tea and human rights!

In my free time, I love reading, hiking, practicing my foreign language skills, and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make deeper connections with people living in the countries and cities I visit than hostels or hotels can provide. I'm passionate about cultural exchange and intercultural communication and hope to maximize these opportunities by living with and learning from people around the world! While I haven’t hosted yet because i was at university, i can’t wait to become a host when I return home next year.
