I'm a young professional living in the SF/Bay Area. I've lived in three countries and traveled to 14, and I'm always looking to explore more of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite part about traveling to new places is staying locally - my favorite memories of my travels abroad were staying with families of friends. I like meeting new people and seeing the world from their point of view :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes are always changing, but right now I really like Kishi Bashi, Frank Sinatra, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. For movies, I love The Goonies, The Princess Bride, and Inception. Favorite books include Pride & Prejudice, The Princess Bride, and Gone Girl.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved across the country after graduation to start a software startup!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone the techniques of polevaulting, long jumping, high jumping and triple jumping (in case there are any track & field junkies out there). I make really great breakfasts and soups, and I love learning how to cook new dishes. I'd also love to learn more Italian and teach English as an exchange.
