About Me

I am currently a film student at New York University, Tisch School of the Arts. I'm also interested in photography, art, and music. I do mostly street photography and portraits, still learning and exploring. I draw and paint sometimes as a way of relaxing.
I love the beauty of little details in life. I appreciate chill Sunday mornings and refreshing drizzling afternoons in the fall.
I haven't got the chance to travel a lot in my life so far, but I'd love to Travel more and meet more people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people of similar interests from different parts of the world. And I'm happy to help people out when they are traveling, because I understand that sometimes travel can be quite a luxurious thing to do, but it's absolutely enjoyable and helps build one's character.
I wish I can have the privilege to be hosted by other people when I travel too.
