I'm from Atlanta, GA, USA. I studied Mathematics in university. After graduation I lived in Japan for 2.5 years, where I worked as an English teacher. I'm beginning my Master's degree in Economics this year!
Traveling before school starts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people who have a similar interest in the social exchange of traveling!

Interests

Photography and reading are my most consistent hobbies, I can do those anywhere. Dancing (hip hop), snowboarding, and rock climbing are things I did for a long time, but sadly don't have many chances to do anymore. But I still love them!
