Hey there! I am currently a student of psychology and education at a small liberal arts college in Western Massachusetts. I enjoy eating, reading, playing music, and listening to people's stories from all over the world. I play the cello and love summer camp more than anything else...well except for maybe cheese. I also really enjoy playing Bananagrams...in multiple languages!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend introduced me to couchsurfing on our backpacking trip in Europe. It was an amazing way to meet people that actually live and breathe a city and culture, not just people who put on an act for tourists. The generosity and kindness of these strangers reminded me that there are still great people in this world. I would love to be able to give back a little of what others have given to me as I have traveled to new and unfamiliar places.
