CURRENT MISSION

To smash many roads with my bicycle.

ABOUT ME

My life revolves around learning new things constantly. I love to experience new things and challenge myself to get outside of my comfort zone. Learning about how others live their lives allows me to view my own life under a different light.

PHILOSOPHY

"All the freaky people make the beauty in the world."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to see the positive and humorous side of any situation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the couchsurfing site but am excited about getting started!

Interests

I am fascinated with the culture of people and how it influences how they live their lives differently from my own. All things science grab my attention and have pushed me to become a professional health sciences researcher in the USA. When not studying or traveling I spend my time doing all the outdoor sports I can handle. Rock climbing, mountain biking, backpacking, and trail running are among my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A recent awestriking moment came when I went to Bangladesh for a research trip to investigate arsenic contamination in water sources of various villages. I was deeply impressed by the Bangla peoples' willingness to share and give what little they had in order to make outsiders feel welcome, as well as their ability to peacefully interact with others of different religious and cultural backgrounds.

As of now I am starting a road biking tour trip through parts of Europe with some of my beat friends.
