I am a senior at Washington University in St. Louis, originally from Chagrin Falls, Ohio (a small suburb outside of Cleveland). I am double majoring in computer science and computer engineering. I am 22 years old and love running, swimming and hiking.

I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy change. Wherever I am, I look for the best way to try new things, engage myself, and be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am living in Portland this summer and I do not have a place to stay for my first three nights in the city. Also, I am sure that in the future, when I do travel, this couchsurfing will make my dreams to travel the world much more possible and affordable.

Interests

I enjoy running, swimming, biking, hiking, rock climbing, reading, traveling, and exploring different cities. I hope to travel a lot once I have the time and money to do so. I also love learning about software development even though I could never sit in front of a computer all day. I have the most fun when I am out doing things, meeting new people or spending time with the people I love.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: The Catcher in the Rye, The Glass Castle

Movies: Lord of the Rings, Silence of the Lambs, The Sixth Sense

TV Shows: West Wing, The Newsroom

I love any genre of music. Every genre has its pitfalls, but they each have something to contribute to the world of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a marathon last year and qualified for Boston. I also skydived two months later. It was a great summer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring a lot of enthusiasm to whatever I do. I can be quiet and take care of myself if you would like, but I can also be a travel buddy, or someone to explore your hometown with.
