Hello! I'm a graduate student studying infectious diseases. I just moved to Pittsburgh, PA and am really enjoying it. In addition to studying--perhaps too much--I really love to travel and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best part of traveling is meeting new people, and learning about the place from them. It's not the buildings and roads that make a place--its the people that live there. I've stayed at a lot of hostels and airbnbs, and all of my best memories are of the people I've met while staying there!

Interests

I don't have too much time for hobbies, but I really love reading, cooking, baking, and hiking! I believe in trying just about anything once. You'll never know what it's like unless you try it!
