About Me

Currently not home as I am on a 4 week trip through Europe.

I am a 24 year old pharmacy student currently on pharmacy rotations in various locations across the states through May 2018.

I immigrated to NYC as a child after living in both Greece and Peru, and have lived here for about 19 years now. I love new experiences, new adventures, and new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think travelling is the only way to truly understand and embrace the differences between us. This is a wonderful way to get to know other people. I have made many friends travelling abroad and I figured why not give this a shot?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the pleasure to volunteer as a pharmacy intern at a hospital in Arequipa, Peru for 4 weeks this past May. I practiced my Spanish and reconnected with the Peruvian culture, as well as enjoyed DELICIOUS food. I was able to travel during my 3 weekends there. I completed a 2 day trek through Colca Canyon, explored Paracas, went sandboarding in Huacachina, and completed a 4 day adventure trek to Machu Picchu consisting of mountain biking, zip lining, rafting, trekking, and ending on a 2,000 step climb up at 5AM. This trip was unlike anything I've ever done and has definitely sparked a newfound love for travelling and adventures.

I also just completed a solo cross country road trip from NYC to get to my internship in Phoenix and back. Incredible experience!
