Chocoholic, crime show binge watcher, traveler.

I'm a college student who continues to recognize the seemingly endless list of things that I want to study and do with my life, anywhere from traveling, binge watching TV crime shows, to studying the impact of cultural, racial, gender and sexual disparities, their impacts on the health of individuals, and conducting research on the spread of illnesses, both physical and mental and their impacts on all aspects of the individual. I am also someone who comes from a multicultural background, so I believe that everyone has something unique and interesting to offer and I'm excited to learn more about what each individual has to share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As someone who loves to travel, have new experiences and enjoy meeting new people, I find that Couchsurfing is a great platform to do just that. Although I have traveled to many places I notice that no matter how much one tries to immerse themselves into the local culture it is difficult to get an insider's perspective on the country without having a local individual share their personal experiences.

Although I am learning Mandarin, I am excited to teach others some basic words and phrases.
