I am a graduate from UCLA. I have spent the past year living in Paris and traveling the world. I am currently a new masters student at New York University in Print & Digital Media. I love traveling by myself and meeting new people. I look forward to learning about different ways of life and culture in other places. I love being outdoors and walking amongst nature. But I also enjoy watching cities come to life at night, hence some of my best memories while I travel occur at night whether it be live music or just sharing a bottle with a local. I am on my way to discovering the world and would like to share my experiences with others.

I'm strictly Vegan - I do not eat or wear anything coming from animals, I love them too much to digest them,

I like to think of myself as pretty chill and easy going, though quiet and a bit of an introvert. I'm always happy and it takes a lot, I mean A LOT to get me upset. I don't dance so please never ask me to. I'm pretty much up for anything and everything. I like risks and adventures, and am doing my best to discover the world on my own.

I’m really into literature and art. I have a large at-home library and collect art wherever I travel. I run my own blog which includes book reviews and discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Coachsurfing because I would like to continue traveling the world and am interested in meeting new people who can give me their own perspectives and thoughts on their life and culture.
I've been really enjoying meeting new people and exploring all the world, as I'm a bit of a newbie traveler.
