I'm a 24-year-old guy from the northeastern United States. I studied neuroscience at a little college in Vermont, spent the next two years in Nepal, and will soon begin my next chapter as a medical student.

Not accepting guests at the moment (do you really want to stay with me and my parents in upstate NY?) but I'll welcome you when I'm living in New York City in the fall.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

A friend recently sent me here to save on lodging while traveling around Europe. I thought, stay with interesting people for free? Sign me up!

As a host, I love meeting new people and hearing about their experiences in their country and around the world. As a traveler, I've found that I learn the most about a place by talking to the people that live there.

Intereses

Singing (I was in a coed college a cappella group), most sports and board games (and always looking to learn new ones), homebrewing (maybe I'll bring you some), and gardening.

Currently, I'm writing a neo-noir novel, training my family's puppy, and volunteering with an ambulance corps and with Bernie Sanders' campaign.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal, working on food security and living in a rural village with a host family. One time, I drank cow urine as part of a religious ritual. It wasn't amazing though.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can give you a few gardening tips, teach you some American card games, and discuss the art of beer-making. I'm interested to learn whatever you have to offer.
