I am a graduate from the University of Southern California with degrees in Psychology and Entrepreneurship. I studied in London during my Junior year and gained so much from my time abroad. I am now incredibly passionate about traveling and meeting new people. I am a vegetarian but am also a freethinker (so do not worry about eating meat in front of me). I love to do yoga, listen to music, relax with friends, explore nature and hike.

From my passion for travel, I founded a company called HostelPass, which is essentially a Eurail/Interrail Pass for accommodation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am about to buy a one-way ticket to Europe, and would love to meet as many new people as possible on this journey.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love jazz, folk, 50s and 60s rock, and some electronic music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once collaborated with the host of a big college jello-party to make the party into a vegan-jello party (jello-pool, jello-shots, and everything). I felt as though I really made a difference as a vegetarian in finding a jello-substitute that everyone was happy with but harmed no animals :-) (Agar-agar is a great substitute for gelatin if you are interested).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share yoga poses, good conversation, vegan meals/smoothies, or some psychology tricks!

I am always interested in learning new things, especially new cultures and perspectives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can lead you through a brief yoga practice if you are interested, and/or can cook you a yummy vegetarian meal. I also have experience with photography, so if you are in need of portraits or anything, I've got you covered. My boyfriend and I just finished a cross-country US road trip and are happy to share travel tips for some of America's most beautiful places.
