About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Continue meeting incredible people!

ABOUT ME

I range anywhere from being very calm and quiet to overly excited. I'm incapable of being mean.

I haven't been many places around the world, but I've let the world come stay at my place.

I love science and I don't care how dorky that sounds.

I've worked in auditory research and aspire to be an audiologist.

Nobody can guess my nationality the first time.

I have a terrible sense of direction, but it doesn't stop me from venturing further.

I love wandering, blowing bubbles, talking to cats, spinning around, dancing, being crazy, being still, talking about everything, talking about nothing, gawking at the universe, the forest, the beach, fields of flowers, food, definitely food, did I say food yet? autumn leaves, pumpkins, Halloween, printers that work properly ..I'm not sure if there's much I don't love.

PHILOSOPHY

~To be immersed in kindness is the highest level of being.
~Our capabilities are beyond what we can imagine.
~Dream large, but stay grounded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

**UPDATE: I haven't been able to host for a while (booo), but could potentially meet up and show you around Buffalo if I have time. Grad school takes away most of my time :( I will update when I can host again!

My roommate participated in CS years ago and while I was skeptical about it at first, I decided to give it a shot.

THEN for a while became addicted!
I love to host people when I can, or even just spend time with people. I think my upbringing instilled a lot of host/mother-like qualities in me that I can't shake off.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think one of the best perks is learning curse words in different languages ;)

and finding out someone so far away that you've never met can share the SAME exact view on love

and how someone you've only known for a short time can feel like a good friend that's been around for years

and how fun and challenging it is to try to explain things that seem simple/ordinary to me

and how its okay to trust people

wherever you go, you can find a friend

I can honestly say being a part of CS is one of the best things I've done in my life :) I've met incredible people and had some amazing times.
