I'm an avid learner, full of random facts, into travel and languages, good conversation with friends around a glass of pinot noir, riding my bike in the city, and taking selfies of strangers taking selfies. I value honesty and hard work, and I’m looking to meet interesting people along my travels. I work as a data scientist at Amazon in Boston for the virtual personal assistant Alexa. I play field hockey, go rock climbing, enjoy reading a good book, going on bike rides, "readwalks" (I like to combine reading and walking), and traveling (I've been to all continents but Antartica) Also, I still ride at the back of shopping carts when I shop

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to enhance my experience while traveling by meeting interesting people along the way and learning more about them

Music, Movies, and Books

Been on a medical streak lately. Books on microbiome, zoonotic viral diseases, How We Die, Being Mortal, When Breath Becomes Air. But also The First Man by Albert Camus. Just started Middlemarch (not a fan so far, but i gotta read at least 100 minus my current age number of pages before i can abandon a book).

Favorite show is The West Wing. Nothing else will ever top that show.

I’m a sucker for GOOD romcoms (emphasis on the word good).

I’m a podcast votary. For the law, I listen to Amicus, More Perfect, and Lawfare. For medicine, 2 Docs Talk and Curb Siders. For history, Hardcore History. For economics, EconTalk, sometimes Planet Money, sometimes Odd Lots. And a bunch of French podcasts as well. Ha, Radiolab too of course
