About Me

I am a student studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I am hoping to get to explore Europe with the help of couchsurfing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring - I'd rather spend money trying to see new places than stay in just one. I like the flexibility that couchsurfing offers, and I like meeting new people that know the city I'm in!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite, California - twice! I grew up backpacking in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, and hope to be able to backpack in Europe in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to learn a bit about whatever place I'm staying in from my host - I love listening, and am open to learn whatever you would like to teach! I also have experience teaching Spanish and English, and would feel comfortable teaching a bit of either.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a helping hand around the house, or a friend to grab coffee or a glass of wine with.
