I'm a product design engineer from San Francisco, California. Currently, I'm taking a year off to backpack and go see the world! Im currently 5 months in and I have visited South America and South East Asia. Currently heading to Europe and North Africa.

I'm a very sociable, outgoing, respectful individual. I love meeting new people.

I enjoy building things, dancing tango, exploring the world through food, molecular gastronomy both cooking it and actually making it myself, and cycling on country roads of beautiful trails.

I'm always up for new experiences and really enjoy getting out of my comfort zone. Constantly, I'm trying to improve myself by listening to different perspectives from ted talks, blogs, and podcasts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling solo for the next year and I want to try and meet with locals have a unique travel experience that I normally wouldn't have as a typical tourist.

Interests

I'm very passionate about my interest in cooking and dancing. Most people who meet me would view me as a food scientist of some sort and when I go out for fun, I'm a tango fanatic. This is one of the main reasons I have for traveling to South America. I plan on living in Buenos Aires to practice dancing intensively.
