I'm currently working as a travel occupational therapist in Brooklyn, NY. I haven't had many opportunities to travel thus far, but I am excited and eager to see more of the world! I lived and studied in Ecuador for five months, but I am interested in visiting and experiencing all parts of the U.S. and the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked through the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador and saw too many amazing animals and plants to count.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an interest and a knowledge base in health and wellness, specifically occupational therapy. I am interested and eager to learn more about holistic health practices.

I love running, hiking, and other outdoor activities and I'd love to meet others that feel the same and are willing to share these experiences with me.
