About Me

Soy estudiante de la Universidad de Mississippi en los Estados Unidos, pero este semestre voy a asistir la Universidad de Belgrano en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Estudio relaciones internacionales y el idioma chino. En 2013 me gradué de UWC-USA, un colegio internado internacional con estudiantes de más de 80 países. Además, he vivido en Ecuador y China.

I'm a student at the University of Mississippi studying International Studies and Chinese. I am a UWC-USA '13 grad and have lived in Ecuador and China. This semester, from March to July, I will be studying abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the University of Belgrano.

我在密西西比大学学习国际关系和中文。这个学期从3月到7月我在阿根廷留学。2013年我从UWC(世界联合学院)毕业了。UWC是一个特别的国际学校,从80多的国家的学生都在那里学习。还有,我以前也住在厄瓜多尔和中国。

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am so much more interested in people than tourist attractions. When I travel to a new place I like having connections with people there and people to share experiences with. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people with common interests and form new friendships. I hope to give back and to continue meeting lovely people from around the world.

Interests

Learning languages, cooking with friends, reading books and newspapers, backcountry camping, exploring Chinatowns, attempting photography, listening to podcasts, riding bikes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm currently on a quest to visit as many Chinatowns as I can in the Americas and am hoping to write my undergrad thesis on Chinese identity in Argentina.

I'm also trying to figure out how to study abroad indefinitely and not have to return to my university in the US.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn mountaineering skills, new languages, about other countries political systems, and how to bake really good bread. Maybe you can help.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have books in Spanish and Chinese that I can lend you for long bus rides or chill days in parks. I'll also try to the best of my ability to make you feel comfortable and welcome so you have a great time in Buenos Aires!

Countries I’ve Visited
