I was born and raised in Azerbaijan, and moved to the USA when I was 15. Finished high school and college in Florida, and am currently getting my MPH in New Haven.
I am friendly, goofy (at times), open minded, liberal, talkative, passionate extrovert; also love to travel and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy making new friendships and love exploring new places - for me doing so is one of the things that makes me feel truly alive and connected to the world around me.

Interests

I am interested in life sciences, politics, and history. Intellectual curiosity and open mind are some of the most important values for me; thus, I enjoy discussing and listening to wide range of subjects.
Enjoy spending time in nature - so long walks/runs, hiking, kayaking...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My junior year of college I had a python, 2 baby squirrels, a fish tank, and a parrot - all in my dorm. You can tell, I love animals.
