I'm studying Graphic Design & Advertising at Drake University. If I could live out of my suitcase and get paid, that would be my dream job.

Just finished a semester abroad in Barcelona, Spain at the UAB. Currently traveling around for a month before I start my internship in Berlin, Germany.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently spending seven months in Europe (studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain and then interning in Berlin, Germany). I love meeting new people and getting to know new cities through a native's perspective.

My mom has been a member of couchsurfing for about six years and I have helped host people as well as be hosted.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music except for heavy metal/screamo and gospel. Current favorites right now include: Maroon 5, Paradise Fears, Owl City, and The Beatles.

Action movies and classic Disney movies are my favorite. Movies I can watch on repeat: Iron Man, Toy Story, Catching Fire, Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince, Easy A

I'm a book worm and thanks to Overdrive I constantly have a book with me. Favorites include: the Harry Potter series, anything by Laurie Halse Anderson (specifically Twisted), John Green (specifically Paper Towns), Anthony Horowitz, and The Hunger Games Trilogy. I recently became addicted to Dan Brown's books, I just can't put them down. Currently starting Inferno, I loved both Angels & Demons, and The Da Vinci Code.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a student ambassador (through People to People), I climbed the Great Wall of China- the views were breathtaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I tend to spout random facts about art & architecture, and I love learning new things on a daily basis. For my age, I have been fortunate to travel a lot and love sharing highlights of places I have been (especially if they are off the beaten path and not usually found by tourists).
