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
