I am a student who does a bunch of travel (mostly solo) for both academic research and fun. Spontaneity, good food, physical exercise, and caring for the planet are all important to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is difficult to both meet other people and get off the beaten path while traveling.

The people who I have met through CS thus far have been truly inspiring.

I currently live in a cooperative house at college where I am unfortunately not allowed to host couchsurfers. But as soon as I settle into my own place, I am really excited to give back to this community which has given me lots.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you practice your English and/or Spanish.

I have a background in Ecology so I know a lot about nature. I now focus on the global food system so I am full of fun facts about food!

I am also a group fitness instructor so I can lead you through a workout?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know more about the chocolate industry (my academic research focus) than you could ever imagine. And I am a fantastic cook!
