I'm in the process of applying for admission to graduate studies abroad, and have a bit of time in between applications and the likely start of term next year. I'll be travelling extensively both alone and with friends for much of 2016, and would love to meet the locals of all the amazing places I'll visit!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First-timer, but seems like an awesome way to meet cool people and save on accomodation! What better way to find out more about a country than to live with the people who have made it their home? :)

Interests

I've been salsa dancing (LA, then New York style) for about 5 years now, but my current love is West Coast Swing. I aim to dance it in as many places as possible - and of course, in the US!

I've also read voraciously since I was a kid, and have always enjoyed travel with family and friends.
