About Me

Currently a junior at Union College studying biochemistry. I'm heading off to London for a term abroad in the spring and I'm ready to travel all of Europe.

Even though I'm premed and love sciences, I love learning about people so much more. My favorite passions consist of story telling, playing squash, anime, and watching Jackie Chan movies.

Life motto: Make every day an adventure.

To my good friends, they'd consider me sincere and hard working. To my best friends, they'd consider me sincere and an asshole (my sarcasm shows no mercy with them), but they know that I'd be willing to do anything for them.

Also, mental health is really important to me. I like to make sure each person I interact with feels valued because they are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being surrounded on a small campus limits you to the kinds of people you meet and the types of conversations that you can have. Recently, I've realized that my life's been reduced to studying for the next exam, turning in my lab reports, and complaining about how I won't get into med school.

Traveling to Cambodia and meeting people from all over the world has made me realize how much I miss the good conversations, chill vibes, and things you learn from the ones you randomly meet.

I love swapping crazy stories with people. Ask me and I'll tell you about anything. My interests range from psychology, mental health, biochemistry, and entrepreneurship, to scuba diving, random adventures, and that one time I got attacked by monkeys.
