About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and widen my viewpoints. There is nothing like living with locals to truly understand a place, it's culture, and history. This gives depth to the human experience and allows us to build upon human commonalities.

Interests

I am about to begin a PhD in biomedical engineering this fall, and I LOVE science! I also love music, especially pop punk, house, and alternative rock. I play guitar, sing, and write songs. In the winter, I like to snowboard 🏂

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Sum 41, Simple Plan, Blink 182, the Strokes, Bombay Bicycle Club, Young the Giant, Oliver Heldens, Alesso, Avicii, Wolfgang Gartner, and many more, just ask!

Books: I like how-to guides and practical knowledge. I also read a lot of scientific journals to stay up to date on the most recent breakthroughs.

Movies: I like comedies and thrillers. I tend to stay away from horror. Not a huge movie fan, but I find them fun to relax with at the end of the day. I really like Good Will Hunting, the Kill Bill series, and 500 Days of Summer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to the ancient city of Troy and climbed inside a reconstruction of the Trojan Horse

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you guitar! I'm not an amazing guitarist, but I can teach you the basics if you have one but never had the patience to teach yourself. I also like to help with chores to make myself useful.
