Overview
About Me
I consider myself an all-around nice person who likes meeting new people.
I am very open-minded. I can be very logical but I also like seeing the world in shades of gray. I like meeting new people, especially people who are similarly friendly and open-minded. I'm terrible with directions and navigating.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
During a break from college, I backpacked throughout Europe, being a guest to some wonderful hosts.
When I moved to Boston, I met many good friends through CSing meetups and parties and my house hosted some surfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Backpacking around Europe alone was a pretty cool thing to do. Female empowerment baby!
During my trip I went to a very small town in Sicily to see where my Great Grandparents came from and to maybe meet distant family. This town was so small and untouched by tourism it had no bus to get from the train station to the town 5 km's away (I hitch hiked to the town). I found one maybe relative with the same last name as my great grandfather but he didn't know of the family members I could describe. But regardless, I managed to walk around a very rustic and authentic Sicilian town.
