I am a 20 something student for life - currently working on becoming a doctor. I live in NYC, but am traveling internationally with my parter Jeff from March 2015 to February 2016. I value good conversation, new people, interesting places, all delicious food, dancing, giggling and adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is only as meaningful as your experiences. Seeing a place as a tourist will always be a superficial experience if you only see a culture and city as an outsider looking in. Seeing and living in a place through the eyes of a local is how one really experiences the heart of a place. Plus, what a great way to make new friends!
