About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome to my page!

I was born and raised in New York.

I like to think, write, listen to music, watch movies, walk around.... Oh yes, and I love to roll paper. I will gladly make you a nice little trinket if we ever meet :)

It's really hard to explain who I am in little blurbs, but I hope that this Couch Surfing thing turns out to be a genuinely life changing experience.

PHILOSOPHY

"Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray."- Rumi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a med student who spends most if not all her time at the hospital. Thus, I can't say that I'll be able to offer a couch any time soon. But for now, the only thing I can commit to is being a well behaved and enthusiastic guest :)
