ABOUT ME

I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota Minneapolis studying foreign language interpretation. I absolutely love cooking and food and learning various flavor profiles across the world - i always think about entering the culinary field but I'm too much of a language freak to do so. Couchsurfing is my ideal way of travelling - what better way to meet people with the same views of travelling and cultural exchange than to offer your home to another person from anywhere in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

““When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.””

“Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.”

But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.”
