ABOUT ME

Just coming from a hiking trip in Utah... Zion National Park is gorgeous!

By day, I am a graduate student doing a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering. Otherwise, I'm an adventurer, connoisseur and learner.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life is fleeting.. you need to make the most of the opportunity. To me, this means aspiring to be an amazing person by working and playing hard and being the best person you can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here, but am excited to be a part of the CS community. Would love to meet new people everywhere. I'd be happy to meet you for coffee if you're ever near where I am.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met couchsurfers on my travels.

Interests

I love traveling (obviously) and the outdoors. I like hiking, biking and have tried a number of adventure sports. I play tennis and badminton. I am a huge music junkie - mostly listen to indie rock and electronic music.
