About Me

Hey there! I'm currently a student at UC Berkeley. I am 22 and have lived in California for more than five years now. I love traveling, meeting new people and hearing their amazing stories. I will be studying abroad in England and backpacking through Europe this summer. If you are someone from there, I would be very happy to show you around (possibly host you) and maybe you could do the same in exchange over the summer.

I'm an easygoing, respectful, and spontaneous person. I'm down for anything from checking out a new restaurant to grabbing a beer. I strive to always be open-minded as well as an empathetic listener, and I truly believe that I can learn something valuable from everyone I encounter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be backpacking through Europe this summer and hope to meet/host someone who could also do the same for me when I am in Europe :)
