Most people I know describe me as enthusiastic, goofy, and optimistic. I love learning things whether it be in an academic, cultural or creative setting. I'm always stoked to talk about literature or philosophy but also go on a bike ride or hike or learn a new skill! I practice yoga pretty frequently and love being outside. I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle, with the exception of of my sweet tooth. I'm a pretty flexible person, and enjoy early morning walks, or yoga and also late nights on the town with friends.
I recently finished my undergrad in Comparative Literature and French.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've traveled a good amount and want to continue to do so!I love meeting new people and hearing their perspective on life and the place they live, and share my perspectives as well :)
I think the best way to travel is to see a place from a locals point of view, go to bars, restaurants, and art galleries. Not the typical touristy stuff. I do love museums though :)
