Weekday nerdy aerospace engineer. Weekend mountain warrior. People have called me “an exceptionally functional introvert”. I might not talk much at first, but get me going on a good discussion and the words will keep flowing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals and experiencing the true culture of an area is always a goal when I travel. Posh hotels and secluded cruises are the bane of my existence.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Shins, The Oh Hellos, Caravan Palace, Parov Stellar, Bad Religion, Flogging Molly, Tiger Army. Basically an eclectic mix of music. Artsy films. What are books?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Boston Marathon, 2014. Threw up all night after the race.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Beer or wine, followed by too much detail about why space is an awful, awful place (and so hard to get to). And the proper way to pronounce “macaron”.
