American student living in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala for several months. I love the weird intersections of conversation, culture, and learning that take place in hostels, Airbnbs, and CouchSurfing environments.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I traveled around Europe February-July 2016, and now I'm in Guatemala from September-December 2017. Looking to meet people and find (or provide!) safe, fun housing. :)
