I am from and have grown up in Santa Cruz, California. I love the sunshine and ocean. I go to school in Massachusetts, so I have been able to experience both coasts of the United States. I am currently spending a semester abroad at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England. I am an easy going person who loves to learn about new cultures, and believes that traveling is the best way to integrate yourself into new cultures and meet some incredible people. I am friendly, fun, and love the outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, learn about different cultures and I love to travel! I am an outgoing friendly person looking for advice on where to visit while I travel to new places. I would appreciate any help locals or people who are living there are willing to offer.

Interests

I am interested in volleyball (beach and indoor), hiking, traveling, the outdoors and so much more. There is so much to learn about life while you travel and I have found that everywhere I go I learn something new about myself. I am interested in expanding my cultural knowledge and meeting people from around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love romantic comedies and comedies. I like most music, but I prefer not to listen to any metal. I have too many books to name my favorite. Although, I will say I am a Harry Potter fan!
