CURRENT MISSION

To make it out of Asia alive, again.

ABOUT ME

I´m spending the majority of this summer away from school, doing research (quite casually) on the mother rivers of India and China - the Ganges and Yellow.

Back home, I commute by bike and many of my friends call me a hipster. I love good live music, and am currently plotting my first onstage appearance at NYC's monthly Hip Hop Karaoke event.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm just getting started. My girlfriend and I have a couch, which may be surfable after we talk it out. Looking for a place to crash and some good local company as I travel China for the remainder of July.
