I was born and raised in sunny California. I have a stereotypical laid-back attitude without a surfer accent. I will be starting graduate school in the fall and plan on backpacking through Europe in the meantime.

In addition to experiencing the beautiful landscapes and indulging in the history of Europe, I am also interested to learn how people live in foreign lands. Couchsurfing sounds like a perfect medium to connect with others and experience Europe in a unique way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and experience Europe from the viewpoint of others.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hahha, I guess I am pretty good at math and can teach. I also have a pretty sound understanding of American political processes and structure. I guess I wouldn't mind getting into some in depth philosophical discussions relating to philosophy of mind.

It'd be pretty awesome if I leave Europe with some understanding of another language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make a mean pasta dish. Oh, and I also make pizza from scratch (which means I make the pizza dough and all that jazz).
