Overview
About Me
I am a really outgoing person, and I'm always ready for a new experience. I am the one on my group of friends that's always trying to plan something new and fun; going the beach, the mountain, etc. I believe that a good time it's never about the place, but the people you're with.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people and cultures, and Couchsufing seems like a great way to do this!
Interests
I am a foodie, and love to bake. One of my favourite things about traveling is trying different cuisines, and hopefully learning some recipes.
I love what I'm studying, so I'm constantly looking for new films, tv shows, podcasts, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was an exchange student with AFS, and I lived in Lille, France for a year when I was 16. I have been a volunteer with AFS since I came back, so I've hosted students from Italy and Austria.
I visited China which was incredible.
