CURRENT MISSION

I'm a seeker and a cultivator of compassion. I'm trying to find ways to build into others and share that which makes our society a more cohesive and productive people.

ABOUT ME

I live a life to benefits others. I am a humanitarian at heart and find the most comfort in building and fostering connections and community even as I travel.

While participating in many varied activities in my life, I've always made sure that whatever I do, I make sure I explore and do it well for myself and others.

I am currently a third year pharmacy student at OSU and tenaciously practice my best to engage myself in all these beliefs while at pharmacy school.

PHILOSOPHY
If I can lend help, I will lend help in the aspects where I have specific skill and talent. One of these is music and art, another is pharmacy and everything related to treatment medication.

I was a host for two years from 2011-2013 and am happy to serve as an ambassador of Cincinnati as I travel to various locations around the US. I have lived in Cincinnati for 26 years and Columbus for 2 years.

I'm happy to help :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to network, meet new people and of course host people by providing refuge within my home, meeting other couchsurfers in other cities, and being a guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couchsurfing. My first visit will be to Columbus in Jan 2013. I have hosted started in 2011.

I am new to being a guest as of 2015.

Interests

I love to be amidst people and community the most. Culture and the arts are the most intriguing for me but in any instance where people come together to bond--I find this magnetizing.

I spend a lot of time independently exploring places, contemplating, as well as building time-honored and meaningful connections. My intentions are always situated to try to lend a hand to any situation in hopes to make my world a better place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stood right by the eiffel tower in Paris at about just the strike of dusk. There, I ate a chocolate crepe from the street vendor and sat and stared at the tower while my crepe melted in my mouth. I felt all the romance or Paris in that moment. I was fifteen years old and experienced true Love alone, in Paris.

After our last stop in Rome, we settled in a villa in Assissi, Italy. The surroundings were lush in a deep valley and I could even hear the dense fog and dew around me. I got up one morning and noticed the saffron-painted walls. I looked out the balcony on the landing and saw a beautiful lush flora display. Time felt suspended and ageless.

Teach, Learn, Share

I appreciate if we can have differing and even conflicting points of view but still sit civil together and love one another. I hope we can do more of this as we become more patient and loving.

What I Can Share with Hosts

From day one of my induction as pharmacy student and Intern, I am happy to counsel and help in all matters related to the transitions of care and pharmacy.

I work in retail and can freely consult on drug costs, third party (insurance) disputes and resolution, quality of pharmaceuticals, medication management, and much more.

I am also certified by the Central Ohio Diabetes Association to test blood glucose and also educated on diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular related disease.

On a different topic, I love to cook and entertain my hosts! I'd love to cook you a good meal and share with you.
