One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accidentally stowed away on a train from Sevilla to Madrid in order to get to a midterm on time - it’s a great story, and I passed the exam!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love people and would love to chat/go out and do things with you — and also, I enjoy/respect solitude and that you’re a person with a life that you’re graciously letting me enter. I am good at communicating when I would appreciate alone time, and am a very big fan of being in presence with others in silence (i.e. reading, journaling, etc)

I believe it is most important to be genuine, generous, and grateful 🌱 and strive to be these as much as i can

What I Can Share with Hosts

🩺I’m a medical student so here for any niche medical questions
💃and can teach you the basics to most partner dances (Brazilian zouk, salsa, bachata, blues, swing especially)!
🥂working to live >>> living to work. If you host me I’ll gladly pick up a bottle of wine (or your preferred non-alcoholic beverage) to split together and just enjoy being 🌱
🫂i have been told i ask good questions. I’m by no means a therapist but if you want to chat or want a third party opinion on anything, here for ya :)
