CURRENT MISSION

Learn as much as possible. Travel. Take risks. Take advantage of everything the world has to offer.

ABOUT ME

I'm an avid reader and have been all my life. I'm curious to see the rest of the world before I get old. I love books, dancing, good music, and good food.

PHILOSOPHY

"Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never surfed before but hope to do so in the near future! During the summer, I unfortunately am unavailable to host, as I'm living with my parents, but during the school year you are welcome to surf in my dorm room at college.

Interests

Learning languages - I've always had an affinity for learning languages; in high school I studied German, but I also took three years of Chinese and three years of Latin in college.
Running - I did cross country in high school, but now I just run for pleasure. If you're a runner, I'd love to take you for a run around Princeton sometime :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to a nude beach once... but I don't think that counts, since I was fully clothed.
