About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To complete engineering degree & begin a new chapter as a full-time adventurer.

ABOUT ME

I am a young creative and aspiring adventurer with interests in a variety of disciplines. I will soon be finishing a degree in civil engineering and sustainable urban design, and hope to pursue my passion for outdoor adventure, international travel, sharing stories through photography and film, and using design/build to make the world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spent 1.5 years during my college degree studying abroad and traveling around the globe, during which time I couchsurfed as my primary accommodation. When I didn't have a friend nearby, I would use the CS community to meet interesting people and have a more meaningful experience while traveling. I haven't hosted very often, but hope to become much more engaged in the community after graduating this year.

Interests

Exploring, climbing, mountaineering, cooking vegetarian food, learning new skills, and reading.
