I am an avid nature lover and adventure sports enthusiast. My number one sport is whitewater kayaking, which I have been doing since I was a kid; I’m now a certified instructor and kayak around the world both for fun and competitively. My day job is as a medical laboratory technician at the NIH where I work in the field of organ donation for research. I’ve worked here for 15 years and find it very rewarding to give families the opportunity for their loved one to continue helping others even after death.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There’s nothing more valuable than knowing a local in a place you’re visiting to learn about the area. Also it’s free which is always appreciated.
