I'm a 19 year old from Los Angeles, CA just trying to make it through college on the east coast (halfway done). I study mechanical engineering and play music and sports. My life revolves mostly around those three things (science, sports, music). Art is a close fourth, my mom is a sculptor.

My view of the world has been continuously expanding over the course of the past 4 years, and I hope to keep filling it with memories of positive experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help cure wanderlust. I'd like to travel throughout Europe this summer, as I'll be based in Karlsruhe, Germany, and will have 3 months worth of weekends to run through the world without woes.

Interests

I play flute primarily, but have played tenor sax, oboe, guitar (also bass), drums, and piano. I also really love sports (Dodgers, Lakers, Galaxy(?), KSC, Kings, etc.) and generally play a lot of them in university.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you how to dance, but some people can't be saved.

I'd like to keep practicing kindness, and also beef up my Spanish and German.

I can share with you my optimism, I'm not jaded about anything just yet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A youthful perspective on race relations in America from an urban youth. Or in lighter news, at least we can talk about any and all sports that you enjoy/follow/care about. If not, I'm really big into finding new musicians and artists.
