I'm a 21 year old college student from the northeastern USA who loves to travel and meet new people! Soon I will be studying abroad for this semester at Ewha Womans University in Seoul and I can't wait to travel around as much of South Korea as possible!

저는 한국어를 잘 못하지만 배우고 싶습니다!!
我会说中文一点点!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people wherever I happen to be!

Interests

I'm a political science and philosophy major, so I'd love to engage in friendly discussion about those topics! I am particularly interested in (surprise) political theory, American politics (yes even now), and Asian and Latin American politics (I'd love to learn more about different countries' governments!).

Teach, Learn, Share

Unfortunately I cannot host at the moment, but I'd love to show people around wherever I am, whether it's Vermont or New York! If you are learning English I am a happy and willing conversation partner! I can also teach you how to make friendship bracelets if I have embroidery floss with me :)
