CURRENT MISSION

Making it through grad school alive.

ABOUT ME

When I'm not in the lab, I write travel articles about Paris, where I've spent the last two years. Other outlets of my excess of energy include running, hiking, and reading. I like to think that I'm open-minded and willing to try new things. I'm a little crazy-I love to have fun!

PHILOSOPHY

We're all a work in progress.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To interact!

Interests

I love to cook. I spend as much time as I can outside. I'm currently experimenting with Yoga...so far so good. Eco-sustainability is another big interest of mine. I'd love to have a garden, however a string of tiny apartments has kept me from expanding beyond a few potted herbs. I also love art and enjoy writing short stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most moving experience of my life occurred while I was observing Puja at a Hindu Temple a few years ago.

Teach, Learn, Share

English, German, Spanish, and French--take your pick and we can practice =). I can also teach you some basics of cooking and baking. As for learning, I'm currently looking for someone who will teach me salsa. I'm afraid I might be one of the only Latinas in the world who can't properly salsa.
