I'm a 28 year old college student studying engineering. I love to explore and experience new cultures, thoughts, and places whenever possible. My ideal life would be that of a student traveling all over never ceasing to learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to travel and meet new people. Staying with someone native is vastly more interesting than a motel. You learn more about where they call home, their culture, and what truly matters rather than the usual tourist spots.

Interests

Reading, cooking, traveling, computers, listening to music, exploring new environments, exotic and interesting cuisines, science, art, history, tinkering on anything electrical or mechanical, lengthy intellectual conversations, motorcycles, video games, philosophy, and making myself uncomfortable to experience something new and different
