Hi there! I'm a college student at Vassar in upstate New York, originally from Oregon; trying to travel as much as I can & learn a lot both in & out of the classroom. I'm very curious, compassionate, & outgoing and am studying American culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting families and actual people who live in the places I'm visiting –– and of course, am on a student's budget :)

Interests

• books
• music
• political science
• football soccer

Music, Movies, and Books

Avid reader of nonfiction (historical pieces, essays, psychology), fiction (old classics, mostly), and poetry (Atwood). I consume music to an embarrassing degree and will listen to & enjoy virtually any genre, particularly jazz standards, folk/Americana indie, new/old pop, and string quartets
