About to graduate from college, taking a gap year to travel, research, and teach before getting a PhD in Chemical Engineering. I love exercising (running, hiking, field hockey, lacrosse), reading, indie/alternative rock music, science/math/engineering, and partying when the time is right :). I try to remember to see the beauty in the everyday, but I've found that when I start to forget traveling to a new city gives me perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
