***In short, a kid at heart who is always up for an adventure and trying to find ways to make life as joyful as possible.

As you can see from my profile picture, my life has pertained to living life as a kid with my baby brother. I grew up in Glendale, CA, which is a town about 15 min away from Los Angeles, but I wouldn't really call myself an LA guy (Definitely a Californian though). Glendale is a city in its own as it is densely populated with Armenians. That being said, I grew up with very cultured upbringing that I am extremely grateful for.

A little short bio on me. I graduated from UCSC last year majoring in Biology. After the summer of 2018, I became a part of BirthRight Armenia. I volunteered in Armenia for a little over 5 months varying from teaching English at a youth center, volunteering as a music and psych therapist at a special needs school, shadowing at a hospital, and guest lecturing at a University. My work background pertains to education and health as I have a soft spot for special needs kids and seniors with Alzheimer's/Dementia. Maybe one day become a doctor, a teacher/professor, or both. I gotta figure out which one allows me to travel the most.

As for the fun stuff, I'm a beach bum with an endless, amazing taste/love for music that will stand to the test of time. You mention the outdoors, an adrenaline rush adventure, or just a chill day around the grill with some good people, then I'm sold! The goal is to enjoy the journey as much as possible and view life through a kid's eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of traveling is meeting new people and getting to know the culture through their eyes. What better way other than couch surfing?
