Description

Hi! I'm Freya, a 22 year old from Massachusetts, USA.

I love traveling and meeting new people and seeing new places. Currently a 3rd year University student and studying abroad in Chile this Spring.

I'm personable, curious, athletic, and up for trying new things. I've traveled extensively both with my family and with friends and got to have a lot of amazing independent travel experiences during my gap year.

Some of my favorite things are listening to and creating music, reading, playing sports, having meaningful conversations, playing games (cards, charades, etc) and making art. I am very interested in sustainability and leading an environmentally-conscious life. Learning new things and connecting with people always inspires me.
