I am a masters student from California that is studying in the Sweden. I look forward to meeting lots of new people and seeing lots of new places. I currently am studying Environmental/Sustainable Science and Physical Geography. I like trying new foods and am a huge beer and wine lover. If there is anything else you would like to know feel free to ask away :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be couchsurfing periodically during my time abroad. I would like to meet local people and get more of a real perspective of the cities I visit instead of the typical touristy stuff. I also of course am a struggling college student so couchsurfing also proves to be fairly economical choice haha.

Interests

I like to read and travel often. I have a black cat named Piper that is almost 3 that won't be traveling with me don't worry. I enjoy going to the beach as well as long walks through new cities and going on hikes or camping. I cook often and mostly enjoy trying new, unique recipes the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think my trip abroad will be far be the most amazing thing I have ever done.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a great cook, and can be great company. I would love to get to know my hosts and grab a beer with them and check out their favorite spots while I stay. I have many friends from many different countries, and I mostly love getting to know more about them and their culture. it would be amazing if I could add new friend's to my repetoire of cultural enlightenment. I enjoy having intellectually stimulating conversation, and am more than willing to facilitate a good discussion and good company.
