I am a student at Cal Poly SLO in California. I love traveling and have spent many of my summers doing so, on short trips or even to live in another country. I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, reading, music, food, and people.

I have a strong desire to learn about people from all walks of life, similar to mine or different, as I hope that will help me keep an open mind. I love trying new foods, visiting new places, meeting new people, and just doing new things that push my comfort zone!

Some of the places I have travelled are Norway, Lebanon, Ireland, Canada, Belgium, Spain (for the running of the bulls!), Italy, Cyprus, and France. I would love to keep that list growing and hope to travel to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, South Africa, Tanzania, Argentina, Nepal, New Zealand, and many many more places!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet people, and experience their cultures, and this is the best way to do that all. When I visit a new place I want to experience it through the eyes of a local because one day I might just want to become a local! More importantly, I want to make amazing connections with amazing people, and who better than the people generous enough to open their homes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share my story with hosts, just as I would love to learn theirs. My parents also taught me to never visit someone's home empty handed, so I will surely be bringing some sort of treats or souvenirs from home or my travels!
