CURRENT MISSION

To experience all I can while I can.

ABOUT ME

I am an eager observer and participant in whatever I do. I have an open and inquisitive mind and enjoy cooking, the outdoors and its associated activities, travelling (of course), reading, socializing, and meeting new people - especially those with perspectives that differ from my own.
I'm currently working on a master's degree in biomedical engineering at Tufts University in the Boston area.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to be productive, happy, and interactive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I am able, and have had many great stays with fellow hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had few hosting experiences and several surfing experiences. They've all been pleasant and varied; I look forward to more.

Interests

I love hearing coherent rationales for viewpoints I have yet to understand or agree with.
I love to travel. If nothing else, it is lots of fun and besides, "travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." - Mark Twain
I am really into what I'm studying.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books that make me think, and movies that also insight thought, or, on the other end of the spectrum, are just brainlessly entertaining.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw an immense herd of wild elephants on the Chobe river in northern Namibia. It blew my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

While I do love to experience any and all "essential" activities of the place where I am surfing, I also really enjoy the little-known aspects that only a local could be familiar with. I am open-minded and enthusiastic, and in return for hosting me, I can offer my engaging company, a good cooked meal, and interesting discussion.
