Let’s see. I love the outdoors. I’m introverted but enjoy meaningful conversation. My bucket list consists of treks around the world. I enjoy cooking, especially recreating dishes I’ve had on my travels. The weirdest thing I’ve ever eaten was a tarantula. My perfect evening is dinner with a few close friends followed by a game of euchre. My perfect day is climbing a mountain followed by Shake Shack. I like logic puzzles and games like chess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool people and experience their cities. To travel as much as possible. To experience different cultures and perspectives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked the Annapurna circuit in Nepal by myself in 18 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about psychology, neuroscience, and anthropogeny.
My hobbies are mostly fitness related but would be happy to teach you a cool yoga pose.
I would also love to talk about and share different meditation techniques (I recently did a vipassana retreat).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to host in the future.
