I am a student at Ithaca College majoring in screenwriting for film and television. As someone who is passionate about telling stories that take place in different countries, I have made it my mission to learn different languages as a way to intimately understand cultures around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have applied to and been accepted to multiple study abroad opportunities both inside and outside my college. However, I have not been able to pursue my desire to go abroad because of my lack of ability to pay for those same programs.
