CURRENT MISSION

I am a recent Civil Engineering graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles solo road tripping around North America.

ABOUT ME

Independent, practical, laid-back. I grew up hiking and camping through Boy Scouts and eventually reached the rank of Eagle Scout. I used to long-distance run, but after running a marathon, I started powerlifting and strength training. I have been studying engineering for the past four and a half years. But now that I've graduated, I've been reading and writing and photographing more. I enjoy talking with people and hearing their stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am embarking on a post-college graduation road trip. I plan to follow the Mississippi, Missouri and Columbia Rivers across the US and Canada. I love meeting the people in the cities I visit instead of just doing the standard touristy things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over Christmas I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru. You could say it was inca-redible XD

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy discussing different aspects of fitness. I was a runner for a couple years and have since gotten into strength training. I could teach you about that. I have tried yoga a couple times in the past, but never really got into it. I would love to learn more though.

I used to play music for many years. I could teach you to read music. I love learning new instruments.

Of course I also enjoy sharing travel stories.
