CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Friendly, sociable, responsible, reliable. Wicked awesome homebrewer. Belgian-ale drinking, lederhosen-wearing, techno/electronica-listening, Harry Potter impersonating, road cycling, cello-playing, prior PhD student studying bioengineering, with a dash of synthetic biology. Eager to see and experience the world after spending 25 years stuck in the USA. Much to do, to see, to taste, to hear, to touch, to learn, to read.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only hosted people once, and then surfed once in London with the same friends. Also surfed once in Copenhagen, and had a great time with my host Mads. Looking to surf more, and return the favor, or meet new people looking for a couch in Lausanne.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far nothing but positive interactions with interesting people :)
