I am a 28 year old female from New York. I am a nurse and will very soon be working for Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres), which has been my dream job for a long time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to immerse myself in the culture of the place I am visiting, for me that is the only way to travel.

Interests

I love travel, learning languages, yoga, all kind of dance but especially African dance, Mexican food, meditation, theater, live music, psychedelic therapy-specifically with Iboga and other plant medicines.
