Overview
About Me
I've visited the Great Wall of China, witnessed the Northern Lights of Alaska, hiked the Incan trail in Peru and climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro; all in the lavish comfort of a mahogany desk and the black and white pages of a book.
From a young age, I've learned the importance of opening my mind to a world rich with imagination, possibility, and dreams. As a dreamer, I find the freedom from within to change my story at any time, and to help other people change their paths as well.
As a sophomore at Yale University studying Molecular Cellular Developmental Biology, I seek the impossibility in whatever I do, imagine it, and create a vision in which I believe.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love hearing the stories of different people. Life is a collection of each of our unique experiences, and having the opportunity to interact with people from cultures differing from my own is one of my favorite things to do.
