Hello! I am currently a scientist-in-training, I am earning a Ph.D. in marine biology and I plan to use it to study the health of coral reefs around the world. I save all of my money and use all of my free time for the sake of travel.

Note: Please please please do not message me if you are anti-gay or if you look down on any races, ethnicities, or religions in any way, thank you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because learning about different places, cultures, and languages is addictive. I want to see every part of the world and try everything (that doesn't harm me) at least once.

Interests

When I don't have the time or money to travel, I enjoy bars, hiking, swimming, reading, and tv shows.

• hiking
• scuba diving
• lakes
• mountains
• travel
• bike riding
• learning new things
• sharks
• coral reefs

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Classic & alternative rock (Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Killers, the Beatles...)
Movies: V for Vendetta, The Avengers, Lord of the Rings
Books: Those written by Douglas Adams, Jonathan Safran Foer & Kurt Vonnegut

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned how to sail a tallship (a 100ft long ship with 10 sails) from San Juan, Puerto Rico to St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. One night, while on watch, we saw dolphins swimming and they were lit up by bioluminescence, which was probably the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen.
