Active and social, down-to earth guy from California! I just finished my Masters in Public Health degree from UC Berkeley, focusing on Industrial Hygiene. Basically, workplace health and safety, chemical exposures, and ergonomics. I’m a huge nerd for science and research. I interned in Vietnam for three months before deciding to travel more of Asia. I like to talk to people, learn new things, and share fun experiences.

I’m pretty adventurous and like to sightsee. I am also a good photographer so if you want someone to help take awesome pics I can be your guy! I can definitely hold my own when drinking, which means I know how to have fun after a few drinks! Also love to game and chill :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool and new people from all over. I would like to have a global network of friends I can call family, or close to that! I don’t have many references as I don’t get to use this too often but please check out my Instagram to get to know me better: @pattontravels
