CURRENT MISSION

To gain perspective on the world by engaging with people from all over it.

ABOUT ME

Currently taking time off work as a physical therapist to experience the world outside my bubble.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone's entitled to their own thoughts, beliefs, perceptions. A person deserves as much respect as they give to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have informally hosted surfers in the past, but never officially through the website.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only once through the site, but I have done a fair share of unofficial couch surfing through people I have met along a 3 month bike tour I went on before beginning graduate school.

Interests

Playing any sport ever created while playing as hard/fast as I can to compensate for my lack of talent.
