CURRENT MISSION

SORRY, NO COUCH AVAILABLE UNTIL FEBRUARY.

ABOUT ME

Attending grad school at CUMC; things are a little too crazy right now to host!! This will change soon, I'm certain, so try again later, around February. :D

PHILOSOPHY

This entire world is connected. Humans, other animals, plants, inanimate objects- we're all just a mass of quarks, which makes us all the same and all worthy of respect. Honesty and compassion are the keys to a full and happy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome- I had the most amazing hosts in Ghent, Antwerp, Lille, and especially Rotterdam! ;) I would recommend couchsurfing to ANYONE- I guarantee you it will be unforgettable.

Interests

Science/medicine, animal rights (those are not mutually exclusive, contrary to popular belief!), running, live music, expanding the scope of my travels, etc., etc.

Trying to learn as much as possible about social and political affairs in order to keep from being a conversational bore.

Moving to new and exciting places- New York is next in the cards, and I'm trying for Montreal after that.
