Hi! I'm a recent graduate at Stanford University in California, USA! I also work in tech, do civic work and have nonprofit experiences :) I've traveled a lot in my past, and love getting to know new people. I’ve had remarkable experiences hosting and surfing with Couchsurfing.

I've both hosted and been hosted in foreign countries before, and I am always looking to learn new languages and skills. I love exploring cities and places, and look forward to meeting you! I'm clean, responsible, enjoy trying new things, and love a good time. Big fan of hearing and telling stories, and above all, I love to adventure. Over 50 countries and counting now!

Currently am hosting at my family house in south Jersey or maybe Philadelphia if we’re around that area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is awesome. Just recently found it when my friend referred me over, but I really admire, respect, and get behind the idea of hosting and making new friends. I'm a firm believer in the power of good karma and kindness, and Couchsurfing makes that all possible.
