Hi there! I'm a passionate learner and lover of the world with an intense wanderlust. I love meeting new people and making new friends although I can be a little shy initially. However, I am quick to open up through mutual excitement and good conversation!

I graduated from University of Missouri in 2018 having majored in Psychology and Biology. I'm currently a graduate student studying Global Health at NYU - College of Global Public Health. I hope to go to medical school after I graduate. I love studying everything about the human brain and how it makes us the way we are.

Unfortunately I currently live in a studio so I will be unable to host but I would still love to meet people from around the world. I am especially fortunate to be in such a large, diverse city. If you would like to explore the city or meet up, please let me know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling but more importantly, I love learning about the lives of other people around the world. I've always wanted to break out of my shell and create lifelong friendships with people who share my love for traveling and CS is a wonderful place to do that.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎶 | No strong preferences; I appreciate any type of music. I generally enjoy songs that are catchy and/or meaningful. I get most of my new music through the radio so I love song suggestions. My favorite song changes frequently, mostly because I listen to it so many times I eventually get tired of it.
Currently listening to: Mayday by TheFatRat (updated 4/9/19)

🎥 | I enjoy any movie genre except horror/thriller. I think my imagination is too active--I get nightmares for months from them!
Favorite movies: Arrival, Marvel
Favorite TV shows: Community, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Bojack Horseman, Game of Thrones,

📖 | Reading is my longtime love. I'll read any book I can get my hands on and I always appreciate book suggestions. I range from free reading YA novels, analyzing classical literature, or anything in between. I've currently been taken with reading non-fiction and sci-fi and I'm really enjoying it.
Favorite books: When Breath Becomes Air, Candide, Stories of Our Lives, The Three-Body Problem
