I grew up in New York and then spent 4 years outside of Boston while I was in school. I majored in Computer Science and Chinese. One of my best experiences was the semester I spent in Beijing. I enjoyed it so much that I went back after graduation for a solo 3 week backpacking trip.

Now, I'm a software engineer in San Francisco. I try to take one big trip every year. This year it will be a 16 day trip to Iceland, Ireland and Scotland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy traveling, and I find that I have better experiences when I meet new people.
