I'm an astronomer turned neuroscientist living in Boston and currently traveling the world for a few months in 2024.

Big music-lover; I always try to seek out live music and take every opportunity to make music with others. Been drawing since I was little, I love art and photography.

Mountains/forests/nature is where I feel most at peace, and I love being outdoors, playing sports, and other games. Really enjoy meeting new people, listening to new ideas, and hanging out and having a good laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel the world cheaply and meet/share/learn/laugh with interesting people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise from the top of a supervolcano!

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that a comet's tail always points away from the sun, that turtles travel almost 10,000 miles every year, and that cats spend 30-50% of the day grooming themselves...?

Live life slowly, enjoy time off with family and friends, listen more than you talk, try to reduce your ego, be yourself -- stop caring what others think of you, and finally be kind to others and share all that you can!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, a good laugh, and some live music/jam session if they have a piano/drums!
