I'm a student studying mechanical engineering and product design. I am fascinated by the intersection of the art and technology, and my current dream job is to go into the fields of sustainable fashion and wearable technology. I once modeled a faux-leather pair of overalls I made using trash bags for a trashion show.

I'm currently staying in Venice, Italy up until early August, and on the weekends I'm traveling around Europe. (My travel itinerary is mainly food-oriented: I love to eat and try new cuisines!) I rarely turn down offers for adventures -- my life motto is that I'll try anything once, and that hasn't failed me so far. In fact, it has led to some pretty interesting experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing new things! I believe that you can learn from anyone, and I would love to exchange experiences and perspectives with people from all around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide variety of music. My go-to genres are pop and indie, but I love taking music recommendations so I listen to a little bit of everything.

As for books -- I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. My favorite genre is fantasy, and I dabble in writing it sometimes.

I love watching TED talks because they always make me think of things in a different way than I am used to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently hiked four mountains in a day to see the amazing views of Cinque Terre -- definitely recommend!
