I'm a PhD candidate at MIT in biology/computational biology. I love music, being outside, having adventures and learning about the world. I'm a easy going guy, and always interested in making new friends and having a good time. I spend a lot of time these days hiking, sailing, and cooking so if you're interested in any of that, I'm sure we'll get along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals in the places I visit, and hopefully meet some visitors in my city as well! I really think meeting people in new places brings us together and reminds us of what we all share...something that's really important to remember in our world today.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed a mountain and at the summit you could look one way and see the Pacific Ocean, and the other way and see the Atlantic.
