I'm originally from Matawan, New Jersey, USA. I have a bachelors degree in Biology from Tufts University, and I am currently attending Rutgers University to get my PhD in Ecology and Evolution. I have a passion for food, and I absolutely love exploring nature. I've been to nearly a dozen countries on four continents, and I always look forward to and appreciate the cultural exchange that comes with traveling and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is amazing, and I want to see it all! There are so many countries I hope to visit. I enjoy making friends and meeting people from all corners of the world. I like learning about other cultures and sharing my own experiences.
