I'm a 21 year old student currently abroad for my fall semester in Rome. I attend university in Chicago as an international relations and economics double-major, although I grew up in Minnesota and most of my family lives there. I am new to the Couchsurfing network but am excited to become involved in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to get more out of my experiences while traveling-- to connect with local people and become immersed in the culture.

Interests

I enjoy travel, running, baseball, reading, and outdoors activities.

I completed the Camino de Santiago on foot this past summer (summer 2015), hiking 250 km from Porto to Santiago over a span of about two weeks.

I can teach hosts about my own culture, as well as relate my experiences of traveling in other places.
