Hi my name is Anthony.

I love meeting new people and cooking/dining with others. All food is great! I like to bike and run in my free time. I can't get enough nature. Getting drinks is always a good time. I think I'm a pretty good dancer haha..

I grew up in a small town between Illinois and Wisconsin. I currently live in the San Francisco area, but I'm spending this summer Bochum, Germany.

I study Chemistry at the University of California - Berkeley. I'm very interested in translational research. More specifically, I enjoy studying and researching physical chemistry and electrochemistry for green energy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting and talking with people is fun and should be the highlight of any trip. I would never want a few pictures to be the only thing to take way from traveling somewhere new. I hope Couchsurfing will give me great lasting memories and friends.
