CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, improve my Spanish, and grow profesionally.

ABOUT ME

I am a chemical engineering graduate from UC Berkeley in California. I now work as an engineer in Rochester, New York. I am unable to host right now because I do not have my own place.

PHILOSOPHY

My political philosophy is libertarianism. I enjoy talking about free market economies, personal liberties, and in the context of couchsurfing learning how other countries handle these sorts of issues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I rode by beach cruiser 80 miles (130 km) from the beach to the mountains in Southern California, I felt like I was on top of the world being so far from home. It was an experience I won't soon forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always enjoy learning from knowledgeable people about a wide array of topics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have the traveler's spirit in me, I enjoy going to unfamiliar places and seeing what is out there in the world. I can bring my experiences and enthusiasm and it comes out most when I am on the road.

Hosts can expect that I am neat and tidy and I will not make a mess in their homes, I will leave the place in the same shape or better than I came when I first came there. I learned the importance of this as a host, one of my pet peeves are messy people who don't clean up after themselves!
