I am about to go to Europe by myself for the first time for one month, and am hoping to do and see everything, but also to make new friends along the way! I plan to start my trip in Germany to explore some of my heritage, and eventually end up somewhere in the UK.

I am a kind and considerate person, who thoroughly enjoys being around others and hearing what they have to say. I am also currently a third year pre-med student. Among many various interests, I am passionate about science, and making a positive difference in people's lives, which is why I am in school to eventually become a doctor. I aim to travel as much as possible while I still can, and hope to enrich my life with all of the experiences I can get my hands on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find that meeting new people and sharing our experiences in this world is one my favorite parts of life. Some of the most interesting people I've ever met were through traveling and crashing on people's couches. I want to learn all about the culture that lies beyond the United States.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm incredibly open-minded and curious, therefore my taste in all things is pretty eclectic. My musical interests range anywhere from Etta James, Billie Holiday, Jack White, The Avett Brothers, Chopin, to the Talking Heads, Florence and the Machine, Kanye, and honestly anything in between!

For whatever reason, I am more drawn to German and French literature than really anything else. Exceptions to this include but are not limited to: F Scott Fitzgerald, Tolstoy, Chekhov, and JK Rowling (Harry Potter is the greatest series I've ever read)

I only like movies that make me smile! I can be found watching Christmas movies at any given time of year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to New York with my best friend in an effort to pursue being completely in love with life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many random facts-many biology oriented and I hope to learn everything you want to share:)

I can help you practice English, and hopefully you can in turn help me learn French

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am extremely eager to learn new things, and about people and their experiences. I can be of service by providing a good conversation, someone to share a cup of coffee with, or just a person who will gladly listen to literally anything you wish to talk about!
