I cannot currently host, because I'm living at home. I am free to meet up and can start hosting when I move in March. Trying to meet lots of new people, and see as many new places as possible! I'm a nurse and my ultimate goal is to travel the world with Doctors Without Borders. I don't drink or do do drugs and like to keep illegal things out of my home. I do not mind if you partake in those things, and it is totally okay to bring alcohol in my home, just none of the other stuff. I like to meditate and live mindfully.

Philosophy:
There is nothing more powerful than love. Think of the way you feel when you're devastated by a really difficult time, and the feeling you get when someone you love embraces you and tells you it's going to be okay. The warm rush that comes over your body with human contact. That is love. It is a power greater than myself. If I can reflect at the end of the day, and determine that I loved my fellow man that day, even if just in a small way, I know that I have tapped into that power. No matter how hard life gets, if I just love others, I will get through it. And if those ones that I love go on and love someone else, the world will truly become a better place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I marched 18 miles from Rutgers Campus to Princeton University. It was with an activist group that was marching from New York to Washington DC. I was lucky to share one day with them, and the eight hours we spent marching were filled with great conversation, food and music. Learned so much that day!
