About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In grad school in Cambridge exploring the intersection of business, technology, and agriculture.

ABOUT ME

I am a wanderer always interested in a new adventure, in exploring or traveling. As an engineering student I have come to appreciate a deep understanding of how processes around us work and interact. I am passionate about service and community development and have always desired to be an active part of whatever community I am a part of. I love meeting new people and exchanging ideas - especially when they challenge my own conceptions and force me to think outside the box about the many questions of life. I am a thinker and optimistic believer in a better world.

PHILOSOPHY

Take every opportunity as a chance to learn, grow, and change

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am mostly surfing for now, since I am working abroad and do not have a permanent place to share with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed a few years back when taking a cross country road trip from the East to West coast of the US. Excited to try couchsurfing internationally.

Interests

I love running, camping, biking, hiking, backpacking, traveling, learning about languages and cultures, exchanging new ideas and perspectives on the world, talking international relations/politics, service, community, music, cool music venues and coffee shops, living abroad, meeting new people, and sharing life with everyone around me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music and always enjoy learning and sharing new artists. I love reading books about life - fiction and nonfiction that give a new perspective or explanation for the world around us. There are too many movies to even begin listing them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most breathtaking thing I have ever seen was waking up to a sunrise over the Yellow Mountains in China while camping on the edge of one of the mountains. I stepped out of my tent and all I could see for miles was mountain peaks and the sun slowly rising above them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about Chinese culture, manufacturing processes, and the joy of service
