ABOUT ME

I started traveling when I was a teenager and fell in love with it. Right now, I am living and working in Boston. I love the city. Biking through the city in the middle of the night is one of my favorite things in the world.

In the last few years, I have been working at an university. It's a good way to get free food and knowledge.

I love good food, good company and trying new things. I love meeting new people, and hearing their stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Attitude can really change reality

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I began participating because my friend encouraged me to but after having awesome personal experiences with it, I really grew to love the community. Unfortunately, I do not have a couch at this time but I would like to meet people through this community.

Interests

People and modernization. I studied sociology and I still have a passion for learning how people think, react, plan, adjust and live.

Each city in the world uniquely adopts to life's struggles, and it's fascinating to be able observe that.

Also cooking, biking, hiking, reading, modern theatre. Lately, I've been casually getting into yoga.
