I am a minimalist, humanist, mostly vegan, outdoorsy, and LGBTQ/gay. I studied biology and philosophy at Penn and work for a heart failure clinical trial there. I previously worked for a palliative care research group. I am starting physician assistant school in May 2020.

I love hiking and backpacking. My favorite places that I have hiked are Iceland, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Scotland, and British Columbia. I grew up in New England and am also super partial to the White Mountains. I have also traveled to Austria, Bermuda, Canada, France, Haiti, Italy, Israel, Jordan, and Mexico.

I am unfortunately unable to host folks at this time, sorry!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world and meet great people along the way. I'd also love to host whenever my living situation permits for it.
