I'm a third year university student studying African Studies and International Relations. I'm an exchange student in France for the semester. I grew up partly in Kenya and partly in the United States. I'm an avid reader and an advocate for social justice. I love learning about different cultures and experiencing new adventures.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love traveling but I believe that travel is not so much about location than experience. To holistically experience a new location interaction with both culture and community are necessary. Those components enhance traveling tenfold and after a friend recently recommended Couchsurfing to me, I discovered it embodies those elements. I'm sorry I don't have any references yet, I joined quite recently but if you have any questions and/or concerns do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you :)
