I'm a fun-loving college student who absolutely enjoys traveling, meeting new people, discovering new places and being immersed in new cultures. I am an International Studies major with a minor in Spanish at Arcadia University in Pennsylvania, United States. This past Spring (2015) I spent a week in Chile and it was absolutely amazing. During my junior year of university (next year) I plan to study abroad for two whole semesters, one semester in Havana, Cuba and the other in Valparaíso, Chile. Once I graduate from university in May 2018, I hope to join the Peace Corp then travel the world before settling down in beautiful Chile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling the world and experiencing new and beautiful cultures has always been a dream of mine that I hope to achieve and I think that couchsurfing will be a very beneficial tool in helping me do so. I also think that it will be a much more efficient way of travel and will help me to gain the full immersion experience that I am looking for while benefiting the economies local and indigenous communities.
