About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, and live a life full of experience and adventure!

ABOUT ME

I like indian food, chocolate ice cream, making bad jokes, dancing all-out but poorly to funk music, and living in the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

To quote popular astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson: "For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: Know more today about the world than I knew yesterday, and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting when I can, and trying to meet people whenever I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each experience has been unique so far! I'm excited to have more.

Interests

I enjoy outdoor adventures (hiking, camping, skiing, biking), learning guitar, reading, eating, hanging out with friends, seeing family, and golfing. I'm a biologist, so I enjoy science, especially neuroscience. I'm up for just about anything!
