I am originally from San Diego, California, and I attend university in Boston. I spent last semester studying in Bergen, Norway, and I am now studying in Madrid, Spain. I also lived in Japan for a few months when I was in high school. At university, I study International Studies and English literature. I love learning about other cultures, and different ways of life. I hope to keep moving, travelling and learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never couchsurfed before, so this will be my first time. I decided to try couchsurfing because I have met many cool people who really enjoy hosting and couchsurfing, and I figured why not? I love to try new things, and it seems like an interesting experience. Plus, I really love meeting new people :)
