I am an altruistic, compassionate, person who always tries to act from a genuine place. I laugh often and smile even more. I have a passion for learning (about almost anything) and I have discovered my favorite way of doing so is by connecting with others and hearing what they have to share.

My passions are in childhood development, neuroscience and psychology.

I am really quirky and often described as an "old-soul" but love to have fun. Very social.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up exploring the world and I would like to continue to do so! When I travel, I prefer to meet locals and see the city through their eyes, not the eyes of a tourist. I love hearing people's stories and learning from others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mainly listen to Indie music but honestly appreciate almost all genres.

I read so many books-mainly non-fiction but am currently reading Winnie the Pooh in Italian :) and "The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog."
