I'm an exchange student from the USA and studying in Madrid for the 2019-20 academic year. I guess the natural thing to do while on exchange is to travel so here I am!

I love meeting new people from different cultures because it allows us to learn about the other's way of life and adopt the parts we like, making us into more complete people.

Oh ya, doing new things in cool places is also pretty fun!

I love doing outdoor activities and science/engineering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best thing about traveling is the people you experience it with. I'm couchsurfing so I can share experiences and meet new people from all over the world.
