I am a graduate student in public health at UC Berkeley that loves to travel, hike, and meet new people. I love to do anything outdoors, but am also a fan of drinking beers, listening to live bands, and experienceing anything local culture has to offer. I’m an adrenaline junkie, so windsurfing, sailing, skydiving, precarious treks, and anything in between I’m always down for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot for pleasure/school and love the ability to meet new people and experience new cultures outside of the tourist traps people typically get sucked into.
