Hello world, this is me, Raina. I am a West Coast child who recently moved to the East Coast to pursue my academic career in Neuroscience. My life is governed by necessity and I really need a place to stay!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Did you notice that I am a graduate student? The amount that I make does not allow me to stay in 5 star hotels during conferences. However, financial woes aside, traveling is not just about seeing the world but experiencing a new perspective on this thing we call Earth. Being able to interact with locals allows for an insight from someone with a unique experience in the city.

兴趣

When I'm not biking to and from lab or cooking up some delicious pad thai, I spend my days painting or playing soccer.
