Overview
About Me
I’m a PhD student in architecture in the United States. I’m traveling in June 2025.
My studies focus on energy and the environment and I have a passion for environmental sustainability. I'm also a classical musician and I perform with a local symphony.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on CS to meet new people and see new places! Locals are always able to show me amazing things that the guidebooks or the internet would never recommend, plus I like to connect with interesting people across the world.
Interests
I love architecture and design and I like to search for beautiful buildings (old and new) when I travel.
I'm a classical singer and I play percussion. I like all types of music and I'd love to hear about what your favorite music is.
I'm a big sports fan! I mostly follow american football and college basketball, but I also keep up with international soccer and La Liga.
