Recent graduate traveling the world and trying to meet as many fun, interesting people as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing quite like the local experience. Hotels are sterile. Hostels help you meet fellow travelers. Airbnb puts you close to the local experience. But couch surfing is about as authentic as it gets.

Interests

Any and everything outdoors.
Reading interesting stuff.
Learning about things I've never heard of before.
Diving into unknown cultures head first.
Photography.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the '20 country' threshold by my 20th birthday.
The slow boat down the Irrawaddy in Myanmar turned back the clock 100 years- best 15 hours in recent memory!

Teach, Learn, Share

For work, I translate customer needs into awesome technology products for a Silicon Valley company. I'd love to share how that works, as well as dabble in some programming tutorials if that's of interest :) My academic distractions include international relations and decision science as well. Lastly, I'm always on the hunt for the next great hike - any conversation in that realm is welcome!

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open mind and willingness to try new experiences.
