I'm a PhD student in History at Columbia University in the City of New York.

I got my bachelor's in Biology in Louisiana, then worked for a year in a Biology lab in Missouri, and then did an MA in History in Ohio. During my undergrad, I also went to study in Paris for a semester.

I love traveling and meeting new people. Studying in the US has brought people from all over the world into my life. I also enjoyed meeting travelers during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love meeting new people and learning about their lives. I believe it is people that surround you that make your experiences amazing. I love traveling and combining it with learning different people's stories sounds like an exciting combination.
All of my fellow adventurous friends highly recommend couchsurfing to me, and I am sure I will have some unforgettable experiences.
