Hey! I'm a third year mathematics student studying at Columbia University, living in New York City, born in Michigan, and raised in Vancouver, Canada. I usually spend my summers in my second home of Croatia, touring the mediterranean and playing tennis on the red clay! After a long and tiresome internship, this summer I'll be spending two weeks unwinding on the beautiful French Riviera beaches of Nice, Cannes, St Tropez, before aggressively pivoting to a more physically intensive hiking trip in Chamonix, and ending with a pass-by tour of the Rhône before winding up back in my big city element in Paris. Please feel free to reach out and message me at any time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals along the French Riviera, where I hope to learn about French culture, history, and dialect in preparation for my studies in Paris next year. Also to meet fellow travelers and grab a few good European brewskis along the way and hear some cool stories!
