I am a recent NYU Gallatin Graduate, where I studied the Intersection of Art and Science: From cells to cities. I have been working in biodesign(the intersection of art/design, biomolecular sciences, and sustainability). I was raised in Santa Cruz, CA but have been living in NYC for the past 5 years. I've also lived in Berkeley, Oakland, Santa Barbara, and Sydney. I am very easy-going and down for almost anything! I love adventures, trying new things, and hearing people's stories. We only have one life, so why not make it interesting?

Here is a list of things I love to do (maybe we share something!): Exploring/adventuring!, hiking, camping & backpacking, any art form (painting, drawing, digital, 3D, ceramics...), volleyball, snorkeling & diving, cooking(I will cook for you!), listening to music & going to shows, dancing!, picnics, poetry, science, gardening, surfing, paddleboarding & kayaking, going to the gym, and so much more.

I am currently traveling with my boyfriend of 4+ years and am excited to meet new people around the globe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The basics of it are I love traveling, learning about new cultures, going on adventures, and meeting new people. I started traveling when I was younger, and I have been hooked ever since. I definitely am a people person. And when I travel, I don't want to just see the tourist version of a place; I want to understand the people, culture, and history. Couch Surfing allows you to talk to people who belong to that world you are visiting and truly experience the town/city/country. And that is so cool! I want to have real conversations with people across the world, finding our differences and similarities, and what it is like to live and exist where they do. Also, it's way cheaper;)
