I recently graduated with BSc in Biology. I will be starting medical school in August 2016 so I want to get A LOT of traveling done before I'm tied down for years and years. I will be starting school in Chicago, Illinois, U.S. so if you want to come visit, I can host you in the future. I'm easy going, open-minded, love trying and exploring new things, social, independent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really think that couchsurfing is wayyy better than hotels. Not just because of the money thing but couchsurfing lets you interact with someone who actually lives in the area and you can learn so much more about the lifestyle and culture of the region than if you were to stay in a hotel. And overall, I really enjoy just meeting new people and learning their stories.
