Recreational learner. Mariner. Scientist. I love adventure and am slowly working through visiting every country in this beautiful world. I have a lot of passions and always have a few projects of some kind going on. I am a bit of a thrill seeker and enjoy tackling challenges. I love meeting new people, immersing myself in new ideas and perspectives, and giving back when and where I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cultural immersion, learning, freedom, make new friends. Later in life I plan to devote my life completely (rather than partly) to social change and justice. I want to get to know the world better in the meantime.
I am currently traveling around Europe with my partner Carolyn
