21 year old software engineer who loves going on adventures. I'm a nature enthusiast and most of my hobbies take place outside. I've been living in Zürich since September on an exchange to ETH Zürich, and I am trying to make the most of it by seeing the wonderful cities that Europe has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, and treasure developing connections with locals in a new area. I enjoy learning about the history of the places I visit and present day trends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all genres of music, lately focusing on alt-rock, indie, and techno. I play the viola and piano, and am a huge fan of live classical performances.

Recent finds: Django Django, Brandt Brauer Frick, Yessayer

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of my travel adventures have been in the US, where I grew up.

Climbed 10 fourteeners in Colorado
Biked a metric century with over a mile of elevation gain in NM
Camped my way from Indiana to the East Coast with an emphasis on upstate NY
Road Tripped from Boston through Montreal and Toronto back to my home state of New Mexico
