I'm an undergrad studying astrophysics at Caltech. When I'm not swamped with homework, I like to travel, go to music festivals and concerts, pet dogs, watch tv shows and dream about a future with cake decorating in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about the places I visit right from the locals: the good, the bad, and the parts that are usually overlooked by people. I'm also interested in meeting with other travelers and hearing about their experiences over a cold beer or hot tea, depending on season.
