I am a student from the United States, studying abroad in Valencia, Spain.

I have a wide variety of interests, including: enjoying the outdoors (running, hiking, kayaking, walking, bicycling), reading, writing, exploring new cities and hanging out with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like most others on CS, I'm interested in the authentic experience when I'm visiting a new country. The best way to accomplish this is by seeing the city through the eyes of those who live there.
