I'm open-minded and I can have deep conversations when I feel comfortable. Student planning on majoring in Art History/ Museum Studies. I love creating art and poetry, also dancing (ballet & modern). I want to travel a lot and experience new things. I thoroughly enjoy experiencing new cultures and making connections with compassionate people. Life is too short to be a hermit, and life is too long to stay in one place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a strong desire to discover inspiring places and people, some call it "wanderlust". Traveling makes me feel very motivated and happy.
