CURRENT MISSION

To never stop learning and to keep an open mind and an open heart.

ABOUT ME

I just finished up a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology at Saint Louis University. I dance as much as I'm able, and try to make time for all of my other varied hobbies too. I'm a really happy, open person and I love to meet new people.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had the opportunity to both stay with and host some amazing people through couch surfing. The friends I've made through couch surfing have opened my eyes to new perspectives and sparked ideas for upcoming adventures. I think the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences is what makes couch surfing such a richly rewarding experience for both hosts and guests!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience with couch surfing vastly exceeded my expectations. I thought that I might have a place to stay and maybe some tips on things to do in the city, but I was blown away by our hosts. They welcomed me right into their family for the two days that I stayed, and we parted as good friends. I'll never forget the generosity of my first hosts.

When I host travelers, I try to recreate the open, welcoming feeling that I experienced my first time couch surfing!

Interessi

I'm incredibly passionate about all the styles of swing dance - east coast, west coast, lindy hop, etc. I've been teaching aerial swing dance for the past ten years and LOVE to meet new people through dance. I'm also into the following awesome activities:
