Sobre mí

CURRENT MISSION

To open myself to all of life's possibilities, and share the best parts of me with the best parts of everyone I meet.

ABOUT ME

I am currently navigating the uncertain waters of post-graduate life. Working as a bike tour guide and rental assistant occupies most of my time. When I'm not working, I'm riding my bike, or reading every book I can get my hands on. I am ridiculous, I laugh at everything, and I give people the benefit of the doubt. I am applying to medical school so that I might be a neurologist and discover the inner workings of the human brain, which never ceases to amaze and captivate me. I am very much alive and love surprises and living from one moment to the next. I appreciate the secrecy of smiles and could spend hours talking about my favorite books and music. I try to be honest with myself and with everyone around me, and I will try most things without a moment's hesitation. I promise to share as much of myself and my time that I can to the people who pass in and out of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I am interested in discovering every facet of life I can get my hands on, and I never want to stop exploring and stumbling upon adventures. I hope I never stop finding out all the things I am capable of. Aside from medicine, I aspire to be a professional poet, wine drinker, gourmet chef, and life-lover. I will wear boots with skirts and my belts will almost never match my shoes. But I will pay great attention to the small things and always keep the bigger picture in mind.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a couchsurfer so that I might share my city with new people, so that they might see it through my eyes. I am hopelessly and irrevocably in love with DC, and if you visit, I hope to impart that same love upon you. I am up for sightseeing and hosting, or just meeting for coffee or drinks. I had amazing couchsurfing experiences in Europe, and I hope to be able to give back to the CS community by opening my home to others with the same warmth and openness that I was met with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am relatively new to couchsurfing, but while I was in Spain, my friend Theresa and I couchsurfed for two weeks. It was incredible. Each experience was so totally unique and special, and I had so many amazing stories to tell my friends upon my return. Thanks all you couchsurfers who were kind enough to host me even before I had a couchsurfing profile! The best kinds of experiences, in my opinion, are ones where the host accompanies you out to dinner or drinks, or invites you to share a meal with him/her in their home.

Intereses

I am interested in everything.. I am fascinated by the way words are laid gracefully across a page, and the way light slants into my bedroom window in the morning. I love crossword puzzles and graphic novels. I get immense joy out of people-watching, and pay great attention to non-verbal communication and body language. I love to dance and will do it anywhere, everywhere, anytime, all the time. I enjoy reading whatever books I can lay my hands on, and playing the violin and the piano. I like drinking tea and baking, and can make a mean mushroom risotto.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am very interested in languages, and love to speak French with everyone I come across who can speak it. I also am excited about learning Spanish, and look forward to meeting with people who will help me learn and improve. I love sharing travel-stories and memories, and am always up for learning new things I don't know about or haven't formed an opinion on. I love to talk about the human brain, the natural sciences, vegetarianism, books, poetry, music and the environment.
