About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To see the world with never-ending curiosity. And to not slack on my research.

ABOUT ME
I'm a science nerd that finally got the travel bug.

PHILOSOPHY
Treat people like you want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted friends, new and old, at my apartment in Kampala, Uganda. It was great having people coming from different parts of the area and being able to show them around the neighborhood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've got two:

1) I was a matatu conductor in Kampala and made 6,000 shillings on my route.
2) I was also stuck in jam for 20 minutes because there was an elephant on the road.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences in East Africa, knowledge about infectious diseases, and tips on how to make Filipino food!

I'd like to learn about the history and culture of wherever I'm at as well as make new friends and do one ridiculous thing I'd never dream of doing on my own.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got a queen air mattress, a couch, and a ton of blankets and towels for anyone that stays!
