About Me

I am a young professional of the United Nations who works in Research and Administration. I am a future web developer with goals of moving into the field. I am passionate in serving the world, which gravitated me to the United Nations in the first place.

These days, I am most motivated by good food, gaming, exercise (I like to go running and hiking) and being the best me possible. I am a current New Yorker. I enjoy every day and let the ones I love know they're appreciated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is a passion of mine. I currently live in New York City but have also lived in Turkey. Since being able to travel the world, I have developed a sense of wanting to meet locals throughout the world, as this is the best way to really learn more about each other's cultures. Connecting with others through sharing experiences, food/wine and learning is why I am on Couchsurfing. I am going to Japan in October, and hope that I can stay with other Couchsurfers during my two-week long trip!
