Nothing makes me happier than exploring a new place. I love adventure, being outdoors, contemplating the stars, good conversation, and learning all I can about the many experiences of life. In July 2013 I moved to New York City where I currently work as a product designer and dabble in many other things (photography, ceramics, volunteering).

"The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of its mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." -AE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experiences couchsurfing have added so much joy to each trip I take. The people I meet are warm-hearted, kind, and take time out of their lives to share in journeys and laugh together. I love the opportunities that this community provides for friendships to form in the most unlikely of places around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's nothing quite like standing under the Milky Way in deafening silence of the West Texas desert and in the shadows of sotols. It's my favorite place!
