About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I work at a laboratory at the University of Delaware, characterizing solar cells. I spent most of 2009 biking around South America with some friends. I get along with pretty much anyone. I love traveling and adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done a cross country bicycle trip, where I met a lot of people, and had a lot of people take me into their houses (outside of couchsurfing.com) but the principle is the same. I know how awesome it is to have people take you into their house, share food, let you get a shower, wash your clothes, and have someone to talk to/share your experiences with. It was a huge encouragment to me. I want to be able to help people out in the same way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bicycled with my best friend across the United States, on a $5/day budget. Bicycled through South America (Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru) with three friends, sharing our adventure with classrooms, family, and friends along the way!
