I am a 21 year old originally from the Chicago area but now I call Wisconsin home. I attend the University of Wisconsin- Madison where I study International Politics and Economics, Spanish, and Business. I am looking forward to exploring Europe this summer before the pressure of finding a job kicks in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing so that I can enrich my travel experience by meeting locals and getting their perspective on each city I visit. I don't think that traveling should only be for the wealthy and I love how couchsurfing has made traveling possible for everyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am in the midst of my most amazing experience which is backpacking through Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

In school I study International Politics and Economics and I think couchsurfing would allow me to hear new perspectives on the world that will enhance what I am learning at my university. I can also inform hosts on the events that are occurring in The United States.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope to experience a cultural exchange with my hosts and learn about them and their country. I am a good listener and really value learning about people and their life experiences. As someone so young, I benefit greatly from internalizing others experiences and learning about new and exciting opportunities for my own life.
