Hi, my name is Gaby and I am a student in biomedical engineering. I am passionate about developing new solutions to medical shortcomings. I am undyingly curious about the world around me and spend as much time as I can learning about my community, staying up to date on the intricacies of world affairs, and delving into new innovations. I am an old soul that typically goes to bed and wakes up on the early side, watches Wheel of Fortune, and listens to NPR. I am very easy going and respectful of the needs of those around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always been intent on getting to know what makes everyone unique. I believe that every individual has something different to offer to this world and I want to ensure that that is valued. Therefore, I prefer traveling to enjoy not just the place, but especially the people. After living in Ireland last year, my travel itch is far from satisfied. I'm hoping to continue my travels and use couch surfing as a means to accomplish that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have developed my cooking skills over the years and am a quality baker and chef. I'd be happy to cook for you at some point during my stay! I enjoy cleaning, I actually would ask to clean bathrooms when I was younger, and would most definitely take this task on if need be. I have had a diverse education from small town to big city and in the USA and beyond. I am engaged with the world and am told I make for good discussions and fun stories.
