I am an undergrad student from the U.S. I am studying abroad in Germany for a year and I am excited to travel while abroad! I love meeting new people who are different than me and learning about other cultures. I’m always down for a spur of the moment adventure, and am excited to see the world and meet cool people like you!

I love having intellectual discussions about different topics and I LOVE dancing (specifically swing dancing).

Someday I hope to start a non-profit celebrating diversity and promoting unity between refugees and natives (of whatever country I end up in) specifically through the arts and common sharing of cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I don’t think you can experience a country without knowing the people who inhabit it. And I love to meet people and learn and grow from opinions and experiences different from mine.
