I was born and raised in New York City, and it's where I completed my B.A. in neuroscience. I spent a semester on exchange in Sydney, Australia in undergrad, where I caught the travel bug. I learned so much about traveling on a budget and living out of a backpack. Since, I've backpacked through Malaysia, Singapore and Costa Rica.

Now, I work a corporate job but still plan to spend as much of my life as I can seeing the rest of the world! And doing it organically through CS :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
