Hi!

I graduated Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Coming to California from Boston, I decided to make the most of my time living in such an incredible place. Some adventures: witnessing a solar eclipse in Oregon, sleeping in a Sequoia, surfing in San Diego, partying in Vegas, skiing in Colorado, canyoning in Utah, and backpacking all over California.

I moved to Lausanne, Switzerland to get a Bioengineering PhD at EPFL and to learn big mountain sports. I have started mountaineering, rock climbing, mountain biking, ski touring, ice climbing etc. One big adventure for 2021 is training for the Verbier trail marathon!

I love starting new conversations with people whether it be on the train, in a park or on hiking trails. Science and philosophy both fascinate me and I love discussing those with others. I am very open to other people's interests and love learning about new activities and hobbies.

I am looking for hosts that are willing to recommend some good spots to check out in the city and to share a good time with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see new parts of the world
To live a day in others lives
To broaden my understanding and challenge my beliefs
To connect with others

I look forward to getting to know you!
