A Colorado girl with many dreams. Most of them are about food, some of them are in Spanish and all of them are slightly unrealistic. I am obsessed with travel, cultures, and new experiences!

I am currently a masters student at the Univ. of Edinburgh in International Relations. Politics and global issues are my passion! I am really easy going and always up for a pint.

Lived abroad 3x now! First time was in 2015 I studied abroad for my undergrad in Wroclaw, Poland (also the first time I couchsurfed!) and in that experience was when I completely fell in love for traveling. I came back to do an internship with the US State Department in 2018 in Brussels, Belgium! Now I am living in Edinburgh, Scotland for my masters program.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way to travel?! I love meeting new people and I find Couchsurfing to be the prefect way to do this. New cultures fascinate me, and this is the best way to immerse yourself in one :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumped from 125m building, saw the Pope in Vatican city during Christmas and Christmas Eve both in 2015 and 2017, was in Israel for Hanukkah, and attended Army Basic camp. I turned 21 in Las Vegas, that was an amazing experience!
