Overview
About Me
I'm a university student at NYU's portal campus in Abu Dhabi! I love traveling around the world and experiencing different cultures, meeting amazing people along the way. Being reminded that we're all part of such a wonderful global community is always heartwarming and needed!
Although I don't know how to, I'll try to brief you on myself generally: I'm an aspiring biologist and medical school student. I love to read about science and contemplate existential questions. I love any and all forms of adventure. I love to laugh, and finally, I think compassion is the most necessary human attribute.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm couch-surfing in order to both accommodate my regrettably poor college student self, and to be able to engage with the wonderful global traveler backpacking community. At the end of the day, luxury in one country is almost identical to luxury in another, so how can anyone ever have an authentic cultural experience while surrounded by other tourists?
Interests
I love biology, swimming, any adrenaline-pumping adventure, good food, good music... etc.

Music, Movies, and Books
I feel music typically depends on the mood, so I am not too picky. I love a good cheesy romantic comedy (sadly), movies revolving around societal conflict, post-apocalyptic (of any kind) movies, horror films!
Books: Stephen Hawking- The Grand Design; Laurie Halse- Wintergirls ...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the things I've done that I found most amazing, is living among sloths, crocodiles, deer, different monkeys, and other animals in my home in Liberia.
Teach, Learn, Share
The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
