About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the small amount of free time I have by traveling and experiencing new things, foods and people.

ABOUT ME

I am a curious person who enjoys being challenged and exploring. The best thing that I can do with my free time is explore something that I don't understand.

PHILOSOPHY

Fairness is my highest value. Sexism, racism, class distinction and discrimination emotional disturb and anger me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am staying in Geneva, but I am working a lot at CERN. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of free time to host right now, but if you are in the city (particularly on the weekends!) and want to get coffee, I'm there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed several times in the US and have enjoyed the contacts that I have made. I'm looking forward to doing the same in Europe!

Interests

I enjoy classic rock and indie, and I love watching movies. Netflix has changed my life. I enjoy teaching and learning physics. Lazy Sunday's are my favorite. I'm also a huge USC football fan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving was pretty amazing... a real rush. Arriving at CERN for the first time was pretty surreal for me as well.

I think that I would probably be able to teach you some physics... if you're interested.
