Originally from Los Angeles and majoring in Global Studies at my university, I have had the good fortune to live in and visit many different countries ranging from Trinidad in the Caribbean to Senegal in West Africa to France in Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to establish meaningful connections with locals and fellow travelers alike as I traverse across Europe this summer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music: it's hard to designate a specific genre as being my favorite because I love most music! Recently, I've been drawn to Afrobeats, Reggae, and Latino more, but generally I love anything that I can sing or dance along to. I'm also a lover of musical theater (particularly mainstream shows like Hamilton, Wicked, Les Miserables... don't judge!).

Avid bookworm. I make it a goal to buy a book with a story set in each city that I visit and/or live in. The last book I completed was "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche. Recently I've been re-reading All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.

I love movies that make me laugh and make me think. Current favorites include Moulin Rouge, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Crazy Rich Asians.
