About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world by the time I am 30.

ABOUT ME

Studying neuroscience and international studies has taught me that regardless of where we come from, we all are inevitably alike. I mean cranial lobes don't vary from country to country right? Thus, I have this philosophy. The world is too darn beautiful to remain stagnant in one place. I want to meet the amazing people of this world. I want to do things their way, and show them much of me as well; while still maintaining our unanimity. It's good to live outside the box and see life for what it really is. An adventure. All in all, I am a bright, deep, and genuinely happy girl with a passion for learning and exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

"I called to the Lord and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears." - Psalm 34:4

Music, Movies, and Books

All about the classics. The Fitzgerald, Hugo, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Woolf, Kafka etc. There's something breathtaking about a good story. Once in a while I like reading the modern day pop culture finds, Sidney Sheldon's Master of The Game, and The Princess Bride I also love.

I love sad movies for the most part. Deep movies. Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful. But I also love action and I am obsessed with the Dark Knight trilogy or in other ways Batman!

Lana Del Rey, Sublime, Jimmy Needham, Amy Winehouse, Rebelution, James Blake,Alt-J, Lewis Watson, Bastille, Coldplay, just a bunch. I am very open to all types of music, but also very selective. I rarely buy all the songs of artists, usually I like 1-3 songs and then I'm over it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think every couchsurfer can vouch when I say we've probably done a plethora of amazing things. The best way to find out? Meet me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you guys how to communicate, love yourself and be confident and just be all around happy! I also want to learn about your culture as I love learning about other people's lives!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positive energy. I love listening to people, their stories, their problems, their successes, I feel I can learn from anyone. I realized sometimes people need someone to listen to, so know I can do that. I am also super clean and love organizing so if you ever need help organizing or cleaning something, I can help. :) Overall, I would love to share love and positive energy to remind people that though there are woes in the world, love and beauty still are prevalent and more powerful. And this is not wishful thinking... ;)
