About Me

I'm an American student studying in Grenoble, France. I study Nutrition and Public Health in the hopes of being a doctor/international aid worker.

PHILOSOPHY
I travel to learn, about others and about myself. To experience new foods, sights, and people. To feel the unique atmospheres of new places which I cannot feel at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I want to learn about the culture I'm in, and to be integrated. I don't want to be a tourist, because I think that inhibits the ultimate goal. And the best way to avoid this is to be with locals, to meet new people, and to experience a destination through friendship.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sleeping for 62 hours straight.

Teach, Learn, Share

It is impossible for humans to grasp change just as it is impossible to find the slope of a point without an equation or a line. Oftentimes we may fool ourselves, and believe that a moment we have experienced has dramatically changed our lives. But even life-changing moments can only be termed as such through critical assessment in retrospect. In Reality, each person may only experience 1 or 2 life changing moments in a lifetime, and it is impossible to know when such a moment is taking place. So It's best to try to live life without judgement, and with an openness that any moment may be one to look back on and appreciate in the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love of languages, learning, and great cooking skills!! Seriously, I love to cook/bake, so I can always do this for my hosts.

An interesting and unique world view and life philosophy
