Currently studying architecture in Los Angeles. I enjoy an active lifestyle that includes much time outside. I grew up near the mountains and developed a love for everything outdoors but was always interested in culture. My studies increased my awareness of the arts and I'm now an art and architecture geek and love the contextual history of the places I visit. I've lived for several years across Europe as well as in a small village in Africa when I was very young. I love high intensity and low intensity things and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've found the only way to truly get to know a place is by meeting locals and seeing the culture and identity of a place through them. In my younger years I had opportunities to spend summers living in a place and getting to know the culture. Since that luxury is no longer afforded me I find couch surfing to be the best remedy to understand a place.
