About Me

CURRENT MISSION:

To just be me!

ABOUT ME:

I really enjoy travelling, especially on my own. I've been trying to do as much of it as possible before college life is over and the real world sets in! I'm currently living in NYC as a graduate student and trying to make the most of my last semester in school.

PHILOSOPHY:

I love living life to the fullest, and never having any regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:

I've been a couchsurfer a few times in Ireland and had an amazing time! I attend events here and there in NYC. I currently live in a 3 bedroom apartment in Hamilton Heights with two other girls, so being able to host someone is completely contingent upon their approval as well. Unless you want to sleep on my floor... in that case I'll be the one to call the shots.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:

I've CouchSurfed twice now, and have gotten so lucky as to have wonderful hosts. Hopefully I will be able to return the favor someday soon :)

Interests

Never having an excuse to say no. I always look for things to do, and reasons to say "Yes! Why not?". And because I also speak Spanish, or very good Spanglish, my new motto is, "Porque no?"

I'm a rather adventurous, but equally reserved individual and I pride myself on a balance between the two.

I also like to climb trees. Not quite sure where that fits in anywhere.

Music, Movies, and Books

(A) I don't tend to read a lot. Unfortunately. Most of the reading I do involves peer-reviewed research articles. Welcome to grad school!

(B) I Love House Music! And almost anything latin.

(C) Anything romantic, funny, or action-filled.

(D) Don't get me started, and please, no Scandal spoilers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed up to the top of Pikes Peak, Colorado. The pristine mountain lakes are gorgeous!

Teach, Learn, Share

Share: My knowledge of nutrition
Learn: Different languages

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with two other girls and share the common spaces. I would love to share my common space in my apartment with guests, but I have 2 other roommates who aren't quite as open-minded as I am. If you're okay with skipping the couch and crashing on my floor, then we might be able to work something out.

I live in Hamilton Heights (Manhattan) and really like this area. I have direct access to multiple subway lines which makes getting to downtown a quick 20-30 minute trip. There isn't too much around me to do since this area is pretty residential. But there's plenty to do just a subway ride away.

I have a rather busy schedule with work/school but will also be more than welcome to offer suggestions for places to go or see if I am unable to host you!
