My name is Jesenia. I graduated from the University of California- Santa Cruz with a degree in History and Psychology. I am equal parts stodgy academic and wild, nonconformist, rambler.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling to Europe by myself (for the most part) this summer, and am looking for good people and good times while I am there.
