I work at Starbucks, I'm studying Biochemistry, and I want to see the world! For those of you into personality types, I'm an INTJ, a 3 wing 2, and my love language is words of affirmation ;).

Music is not my life, but I would say it makes up a huge hunk of my soul, so anyone down to make some music would find an easy friend. I'm also fascinated by history and architecture.

I believe in sharing vulnerable love with everyone because each person, city, and culture has a unique soul and a unique story

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This isn't very amazing, but I do feel this sums me up pretty nicely:
I received an assignment to write an APA style research paper on a certain time period and chose the subject of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as affected by religion, researched both sides, and wrote it. Then decided that the resources I had used had been too one-sided, and asked for an extension so as to find more substance. I spent two months pouring over peer-reviewed essays, historical texts, and religious texts, but felt that my resulting essay had only improved minimally. However, my deadline was up. So I sent it to my teacher, saying I didn't feel it was ready, but it would have to do. I went home disappointed with my efforts and myself. A couple days later, I got my grade back: a 97%. I'm still working on writing the perfect draft.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would really love to connect with whoever would be gracious enough to invite people into their home, but I also understand the very unpersonal need for privacy and downtime. On the whole, I just don't want to make you uncomfortable in your own home.
