Michigan born, Bay Area raised, taking life one day at a time. I spend my days typing away aimlessly somewhere inside Stanford Law School, and if you have a lead for an entry level policy job in DC, I’d love you forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people who are generous enough to share their living space for a night or two. I'm very adaptable, having slept on wood floors, car seats and boat decks in the past. Any roof over my head is greatly appreciated!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Gnash, Seven Lions, Ray Charles, Elliot Smith, Kanye West, Lindsey Stirling, Tom Petty, Jon Bellion, G Dragon, The Middle East, Avicii, The Beatles, Imogen Heap, U2, Daft Punk... I got a little carried away

Movies: Pulp Fiction, Catch Me If You Can, The Breakfast Club, The Lion King, Crank, Forrest Gump, Star Wars, The Wolf of Wall Street

Books: I'll read anything that interests me. When I was younger, I read a lot more than I do now, and to this day, a lot of what I read outside of academia is young adult fiction or comics/graphic novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving on US Highway 1 from Los Angeles to San Francisco is breathtakingly beautiful, and I recommend that everyone does it at least once in their life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some "alternative" cooking techniques that I've picked up from camping and hanging out with my Russian friends in the United States. This includes cooking bacon using a sheet of scrap metal and a blowtorch, and making fresh ground coffee with a hammer and a sock.
