Adventure is an essential part of life! I enjoy trying things out of my comfort zone and discovering the riches this life has to offer.

I am definitely happiest when I'm outdoors, staying active, and doing activities with friends. I'm pretty laid back but dedicated to the work I do, friends I meet, and commitments I make.

My education is in engineering but I'm also passionate about oceanography and product design.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm excited to stay in hostels and meet fellow travelers along the way while traveling but I'm also eager to meet locals in the places I visit. I'm hoping couchsurfing can unlock the hidden gem bar/restaurant/part of a city which I wouldn't normally stumble across.

Interessen

Surfing, hiking, playing pick up soccer and ultimate frisbee, food and drinks out with friends, spending hours in a museum (or three), road trips to the wilderness, reading on a comfy couch
