Hello, I'm a 28 year old pizza chef with a Bachelor's Degree in Neuroscience. I am currently taking a gap year before I begin medical school in August of 2018. I Intend to travel in June of 2018 to Europe prior to the beginning of my career as a medical student. I hope to learn more about European culture, practice my Spanish, get in touch with my Italian heritage, and purely enjoy the experience of exploration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing because I will be traveling through Europe on my own and I would truly value the opportunity to meet and interact with locals in the cities I will be visiting.
