I love to meeting new people from around the world or locals that have a passion for traveling as well. I currently work full-time and am also a part-time graduate student in Mechanical Engineering. I typically have my spare bedroom occupied with international students but I may have room to host other travelers in Indianapolis on occasion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been fortunate in having traveled to many countries and hope to soon add more destinations to my list. Having hosteled around much of Europe, I have only recently been introduced to the couch surfing concept and hope it's a great alternative! Whether for a host or just meeting up, I think this is an excellent way to meet others in unfamiliar places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed continents on foot (Asia to Europe during the Eurasia marathon in Istanbul), zip-lined in Kauai near one of the sites from the first Jurassic Park movie, rode in a submarine through Pearl Harbor, backpacked the Balkans, went hang-gliding over Rio de Janeiro, snorkeled in the ocean around sea turtles, sharks, and stingrays off Fernando de Noronha Brazil and received an A- in Advanced Thermodynamics :)
