Hello, I’m Valerie! Currently a lit undergrad with a background in arts management, i spend most of my free time indulging in the arts or with my head buried in a book. As cliche as it sounds, compassion and love are values which i firmly stand by, and i hope to spread it through my finite time on earth!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
