I love data and the outdoors! Summer is clearly the best month because it means swimming, paddle boarding, and all sorts of other activities. I like the big sights, but also the little things like how the trees and animals are different, but common themes and niches can be found between a mountain stream and an ocean tidepool.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Originally to meet interesting people and extend my stay without wearing out my welcome with my friends in Hawaii.
Now, still to meet interesting people, show them around central VA, and see some more cool places myself!
