About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studying for the bar exam and planning my Europe trip for when it's over! Then moving to NYC to start my big girl job

ABOUT ME

I am currently working at a large law firm which takes most of my time. I spend my other time cooking or baking, reading for fun, watching way too much TV (with and without friends), and playing board games. I also enjoy brunch and exploring NYC!

PHILOSOPHY

Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed through northern Spain over five years ago. I also hosted several people when I lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I'm currently trying to get my apartment set up in New York so I can host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled through the north of Spain in Bilbao, San Sebastian, and Santander. The mountains and beaches are very beautiful and I met some really great people! I also hosted some when I lived in Tuscaloosa and here in Cambridge two years ago.
