I'm a young professional trying to see as much of the world as I can. I graduated from university with a degree in physics three years ago and have been working in my field since. I may eventually go back to school to continue my education, but in the meantime I'm trying to travel as often as my job will allow.

I like Couchsurfing as an opportunity to experience a new place through the eyes of a local and see how people actually live, and I like hosting as a chance to be that person for someone else. Cities are made of people, not landmarks!

My free time is mostly spent studying new languages, making art (badly), drinking wine, and screaming into the void.

I am absolutely the sort of person who works out just so I'll be strong enough to pick up and hug every dog I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had lovely experiences traveling with strangers in the past, and I'm hoping to host and be hosted by some more cool people

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
My music taste varies wildly from week to week, but includes everything from ethio-jazz to inuindie to experimental polish folk

Movies
Anything by Wes Anderson, Pixar, Marvel, and Studio Ghibli

Books
I don't read as much as I used to, but I always enjoy David Foster Wallace, Franz Kafka, and Kurt Vonnegut
