Hi! My name is Jen and I am a psychology graduate student at Stony Brook University. I live on Long Island (NY) and will for the duration of my 5 year PhD program, but I am from Boston. I study the ways that our behavior impacts our physical health. I love to travel and have been traveling solo since I was 18. I have done a 6-country backpacking trip in Europe, I've visited Costa Rica, and my most recent trip was a train trek up to the arctic circle in Canada, where I saw wild Polar Bears and the Northern Lights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of couchsurfing because meeting people when I travel is one of my favorite things. Plus, I don't have a lot of money because I'm still in school.

Interests

One of my favorite hobbies is nature photography. I sell some of my photo prints of animals and landscapes :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - pop punk, classic rock, and alternative rock
I'm not a movie person - no attention span
I don't read for pleasure as much as I would like to anymore, but Wild is a recent book that I really loved
