About Me

I am interested in learning about the world and people by traveling as much as possible and by meeting travelers with stories to share.

I love connecting with open-minded people and love exchanging ideas and travel stories and CouchSurfing is one of the best mediums to do that. I attended college in the US for 4 years and studied abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2019. I love hosting and surfing and make it a point to get to know my guests/hosts when possible!

I just moved to Boston from Indianapolis to pursue my Master’s of Business Analytics at Brandeis University. I would be happy to show you around as much as my time permits. My hobbies are FPV drones, programming, 3D Printing, meditation, soccer, gaming and exploring the outdoors. Ive recently gotten into car camping and exploring the US National Parks.

This summer I interned as a Data Analytics intern at Formlabs, a leading 3D Printing Company in Somerville, MA and got really into 3D Printing.

I expect that my guests be respectful of my schedule and that of my roommates. I also expect my guests to clean up after themselves and keep the space clean and do the same when staying with a host myself.
