Currently Studying Abroad for a semester in Madrid, Spain. I studying Public Health and Sociology and am very interested in people and the way they live. Ideally I would love to work with public health on a global level. I think that life is a constant learning process and it really is true that you can learn something new everyday (I know I do!) People are extremely fascinating to me, and I love getting to know who people are and the stories that lead them to who and where they are today.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to explore during my semester abroad. Hoping to immerse myself in the culture more than just merely being a tourist to the places I visit. Culture is immensely important and I believe the best way to truly get into it is by interacting with those who share one different from yours.
