About Me

Medical student in New York City solo traveling through Europe this summer! I’m super excited to meet some incredible people and experience a new city through the eyes of a local!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet interesting people, immerse myself into the local culture, and have a great time in the process!

Interests

When I'm not working on my research, I enjoy being outside (running, cycling, exploring/hiking, etc.). I enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their experiences and the cool stuff they've seen or done. I enjoy coming up with interesting ideas and trying to get a team of people together to implement it (ex. Engineering projects, cooking, coding, etc.)

Learn: I’m always interested in learning new languages and about the culture of the area where I am traveling to.
