About Me

Hello!

I'm a college student at Northeastern University. I just finished up a 6-month stint designing medical devices at Boston Scientific, and I'm looking for some adventure during before heading back to classes. I've mapped out a ~800 mile bike route from my family home in Madison, CT up to Montreal and am hoping to meet awesome people along the way.

I love learning about local culture and exploring the great outdoors. More than anything, I love hearing new perspectives that challenge the way I see the world and teach me something I can share with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends who couchsurf absolutely love it! They come back from trips having learned so much about new people and new places - I have to admit, it all made me a little bit jealous. So I figure I should get a peace of the action. Hoping to come back with great tales to share at the end of my trip.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently introduced to David Foster Wallace, and I'm loving it. Also a fan of Kurt Vonnegut and more pragmatic writers like Malcolm Gladwell, Steven Levitt, and Stephen Dubner.

I'm going to add podcasts here because I'm a little bit obsessed. Big fan of Panet Money, Radiolab, Reply All, 99% Invisible, Memory Palace, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and many more...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a few dance moves that are always crowd-pleasers.
