I just graduated with my master's degree in Exercise and Health Sciences specifically researching on the body-mind connection. I like to surf, rockclimb, do tai chi, and ride motorcycles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be doing the Camino de Santiago (Norte route) and will be walking across Spain! Along the way I'd love to meet up with the locals to surf, sightsee, and chat about life!
