Hi!
I'm from Seattle, Washington and I am currently studying Urban Planning at university. I learned to love travel from my parents who took me on many crazy trips growing up! I got the opportunity to study abroad in Naples, Italy at the beginning of this summer and because I had never been to Europe, I figured I might as well stay as long as I can while I'm here! I've been using workaway (I'm going to be a nanny from mid-August to mid-September in Italy) and couchsurfing to make this trip more meaningful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling I like to meet local people and experience the real parts of cities! I think traveling shouldn't be about just spending money to go somewhere cushy and never step out of your comfort zone, it's much more fun to meet interesting people and discover cool places that someone just vacationing wouldn't.
I finished my Italy study abroad program July 5th and have been traveling around since!
