I'm 25; living and working in Brooklyn as a neuroscience researcher.

As a scientist, I am fascinated by the human disposition, but I also have an eye for art and take great joy in creative endeavors. I really like people, I love their minds, and I care deeply for the progression of art and science as two beautifully intertwining fields.

I love reading, food, painting, hiking, music of many varieties, and making new friends. My greatest joy in life is caring for others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, and feel that hanging with locals is the best way to see the true beauty each city and landscape has to offer. I'm also interested in hosting; and feel showing others around Brooklyn is a good way to see my city with new eyes.
