I'm an architecture student. Just studied in Florence for a year, living with another amazing Cal Poly student, the most friendly and helpful Italian in Florence, and a hipster Lithuanian Erasmus student. We spent our time making the most of our time. Now, I'm living with 5 other ladies in a house in beautiful San Luis Obispo.

I bought a guitar on a whim. Please feel free to give me songs I should learn. I lived in Italy, but never fluently learned Italian. I love to play Chopped by myself, but it always goes wrong the first time. I can never think of anything I'm seriously talented at, but enthusiasm usually gets me pretty far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in meeting locals where I travel. I'm in it to meet new personalities, make connections, exchange stories, and share experiences!
