CURRENT MISSION

To get to know the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a graduate student currently studying neuroscience at UC Berkeley. I love to play ultimate frisbee, and I'm hoping that wherever I go, I can pick up with some fellow ultimate players and make new friends!

PHILOSOPHY

"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate. I think it is above all to matter, to count, to stand for something. To have it make some difference that you lived at all."
Leo Rosten

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm a surfer, trying to see the world, but hopefully someday I'll be able to host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experiences were in France. I met some truly amazing people and had such a wonderful experience getting to know them. The first couple I stayed with made me duck confit, and I still get cravings for it occasionally. One of my most cherished memories is from Rennes, when my couchsurfing host/friend Johanna borrowed a bike for me and we rode the streets of Rennes at night. Couchsurfing is the way to go!

Interests

I love food!

I love to play ultimate!

I also love learning, whether it's learning about the history and culture of a city or learning about other people or learning how to cook, etc.

I'm also learning how to play the banjo. I'm not very good yet, but I can pluck a few simple tunes!

• culture
• dining
• cooking
• cycling

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Harry Potter and classic novels (like Notre Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo).
