I am a fun-loving, adventurous, and ridiculous person who enjoys trying new things and doing just about anything. I studied Social Work and Spanish in college. I studied abroad in Spain for a semester during my first year of college, and did my social work field placement in Dublin, Ireland working with refugees and asylum seekers. It was a very rewarding experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister and I traveled in Europe for 4 weeks in 2015, and we had a great time making friends, learning about local culture, and having wonderful adventures with our hosts through CS.
