Hi All,

I'm Serena. I live in Manhattan, originally from California. I'm a high school history teacher. I like good vegetarian food, peaceful moments, and unexpected nights. Born in Afghanistan, raised partially in India, then in California. Maybe a creature of migration. I find myself very charming, that's what's important.

I write, sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn from people and hopefully give something back.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classical music hits me so hard but sometimes so does nonsense pop.
I am an actor who doesn't really care for movies. I prefer indie over big Hollywood films.
I hate reading but I read a lot, mostly for my job. I feel like none of it sticks

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing and stupid. I once locked myself out of my apartment so I climbed 3 stories to the roof through pipes and ledges. It was very dangerous and I thought I was Spiderman. (Yes I was drunk)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn your language or at least your accent. (It will help my acting)
