ABOUT ME

I am a super low-key, laid-back, 25-year-old student on a six-month trip around the world before I return to school in the fall.

PHILOSOPHY

Listen. Write about it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couch in Colombia was frequented by folks from all over the place who were traveling through -- always a pleasure to trade stories.
