About Me

Hello! My husband and I would LOVE to host you in Salt Lake City, Utah :)

We live in a one bedroom apartment, but we can offer you a space on the couches in our front room or an air mattress.

My husband is getting his masters in computer science and is trying to write an algorithm to predict diseases in infants based on vital sign data. We've spent our spring working at a refugee camp in Greece and conducting research in Uganda hospitals. But we are back for the summer to take classes and work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I love to meet new people. I would much rather spend the day in a cafe chatting with a local than visiting a monument/museum. I think traveling is about learning about other cultures and making new friends

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindness" -- Mark Twain.
