About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life to the fullest before I check out!

ABOUT ME

Where to start? I would describe myself as outgoing, willing to try anything once. I live to experience life to the fullest. I've swam with sharks in the ocean, jumped out of airplanes, navigated city streets on a motorcycle, and visited some really incredible places both here in the US and around the world!
In my spare time, I work on understanding how our bodies recognize and respond to things like viral infections and cancerous cells...hopefully one day, both of these things will be a thing of the past! I am humbled and excited to be part of the effort to make that day come around sooner than later.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life to the fullest so that whenever your time is up, you can greet death with a smile and harbor no regrets!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the concept of meeting other like-minded people who want to travel. This will hopefully introduce me to new cultures, peoples, languages, foods, etc. We all live in the same house (Earth) so lets come out of our rooms and get to know each other!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very limited thus far, but hopefully as I host more people and couchsurf during my travels, I will have some awesome stories to post here.

Interests

Yankees beisbol, Arsenal futbol, science, the future, traveling (maybe to the future?!), partying with the best, meeting new fun people, skydiving (hopefully get my license soon), snowboarding, making a difference in the lives of others through being a teacher, the list goes on...
