CURRENT MISSION

Off to grad school in London, New York, and Tokyo, and traveling everywhere in between!

ABOUT ME

Life right now is mostly defined by the grad school program I just began, which means I am living either in London, New York, or Tokyo, and taking advantage of the far-flung locations to pop into as many other countries as possible. The program is officially engineering and design, but I'm suspicious that it's secretly a reality tv show about twelve twenty-somethings from nine different countries living/studying/partying together for two years in three cities. It's going to be an adventure!

Originally from New York, most recently living in San Francisco, I have a serious travel bug -- my first job was accepted as soon as I heard "70% travel" and bluffed my way through the rest of the interview. I am also crazy about playing soccer/football, baking and eating delicious sweets (or really eating in general), anything that involves an ocean, attempting decent travel photographs, and surprises.

My default answer for pretty much any "do you like . . ." "do you want to go to . . ." "would you try . . ." question is YES.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet :( Super jealous of people who have couchsurfed all over, and trying to become one of them.

Interests

I love novelty -- trying new food, exploring new places, learning new things! -- and spend most of my time in that pursuit, be it just grabbing a coffee and wandering around my home city or jet-setting around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Among the random things . . . spent a summer learning how to tandem surf. It's two-person acrobatics on a giant surfboard and yes, you have to successfully navigate riding a wave at the same time. Awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

My classmates collectively know 10 different languages, and I'm trying desperately to pick up at least bits and pieces of each one; additions to the collection are always welcome.
