I'm a senior at Columbia University in New York City, fascinated by culture, economics, and history. For the past couple summers I lived in Dalian, China and Taipei, Taiwan.

I have a lot of hobbies and interests - art, hiking, karaoke, sailing, cooking, and dancing to name a few. I also love people: meeting someone new and learning about their story and their passions is a lot of fun.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people! And I need a place to stay in Portugal so I can present at an economics conference!
This is a great, inexpensive alternative - my family is quite poor.

Música, películas y libros

Sia, Foster the People, Passion Pit, Empire of the Sun, MGMT, Enrique Iglesias, Beyonce, Rihanna, Frank Sinatra, Childish Gambino, Green Day, Martin Garrix, and Mumford and Sons.

I love autobiographies by people like Albert Einstein and Malcom X, for example. But I also love philosophy - the works of people like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Peter Singer.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I developed a recipe for Dorito and Spaghetti sandwiches. People always love them, but never know why.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I know how to cook well on the cheap. It would be a joy to teach and learn from others in the kitchen.

I would love to learn new ways to get healthy, to dance, to garden, to paint, to draw, to play an instrument... really, I am open to anything.
