Hello! Occasionally switching between Menlo Park, CA and Boston, MA, I'm in my fifth year of schooling at Northeastern University. I've reached the maximum number of summers that I can spend at home and it looks like I'll never be going back to 'live at my parents house'. Come find me and Boston and you can stay in my apartment--It's pretty small but we always have food and company!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a great way to travel the world, meet people, and build empathy.

Interests

Cooking anything and everything with my mother, speaking Spanish whenever possible, writing letters to friends across the globe, rollerblading, trail running, cycling, architecture, hikes, backpacking, outdoors and the wilderness; who on this website doesn't like that stuff?
