About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and experience the world and meet all the unique individuals that make it interesting.

ABOUT ME

I am currently in grad school and it can be overwhelming at times. However, I am trying to continue to travel during any break I get and so far have been pretty successful with that.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the world is very interconnected and we need to start realizing that every person in the world is important and special and it is our responsibility as a human race to be good to each other. I think with a bit more kindness and understanding this world would function a whole lot better.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just getting started with CS2. I live in a studio apt with my boyfriend, so I am not really able to host others yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't done too much yet. Just one stop in France, but I love to crash at friend's apartments and I hope that this is a way that I can make new friends when I am traveling to places that I don't know anyone.
