Law student from Texas traveling Europe with friends during study abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm Couchsurfing to experience a more integrated view on new cultures, rather than just as an outsider in a foreign country.

Interests

I'm in law school, so I spend most of my time reading case law or writing legal papers or contracts. I enjoy progressive politics and activism (i.e., marches, protests, rallying, campaigning). I hope to practice international transactional law to combine my love for legal writing and learning about different cultures, and one day hope to run for office. I also enjoy reading, concerts (mostly pop punk or rock) and spending time with my dog (100+ lbs yellow Labrador, named Ginsburg). I go camping every year and love to travel and do so as much as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
