I'm in my final year studying biochemistry at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, which is halfway between Boston and New York. I love learning new words, hearing people's stories, food of all kinds, and the circus. I respond best to requests that indicate clearly that you read my profile!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used it to make friends as I travelled across Europe watching circuses and writing about them! My place now has a couch to share if my roommates are all right with my hosting. I'd love to pay forward the hospitality I received during my travels!
