Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. I moved to New York when I was 18 to go to university and got sucked into the city.

I graduated from university, where I studied Communications & Media and Spanish, in May 2014. I moved Salamanca, Spain in September 2014, and I've been living here for the past six months or so.

I come from a big Irish-American family and I'm the oldest of three siblings. I'm very friendly, open, and funny - sometimes ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and when I do I try to live like a local - you can Google landmarks and monuments, but it's the little places, the people, and the details that make each city or country unique and worth visiting.
