CURRENT MISSION

To lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing I can see.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 20-year-old history and Spanish undergrad from New York currently studying abroad in southern Spain. I am fortunate enough to be able to spend time in Europe until the beginning of July, and I want to take complete advantage of it. I'm enamored with the idea of traveling, and the way that it constantly exposes you in the best way to new people, places and cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

“I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.” -Jonathan Safran Foer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm completely new to CS, but have heard only positive things. I don't have much to offer in terms of hosting, since I'll be traveling almost non-stop for the next two months, but I'm definitely interested in the future.

Interests

MUSIC, going to concerts, taking photos, writing and editing, Spanish language, early modern history, fashion and art and colors, marine biology, laughing, iced coffee and tea, watercolor painting, living life.
