Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Surfed for the first time in Lyon, France, when I was travelling through on a solo leg of my spring break trip while studying abroad. Amazing experience with very kind and generous hosts. Met an amazing lifelong friend during a short surf in Mainz, Germany. It's amazing how quickly and deeply a connection could be formed, as we still talk regularly!

Interests

Airplanes of all sorts, and flying of course.
Marching band and drum corps
Being an engineer
Playing the oboe
Star Wars and other sci-fi
Cheering on my USC Trojans!

Music, Movies, and Books

I tend to enjoy whatever movies I see. Disney movies are amazing of course, my favorite probably being Hercules, Mulan, or Enchanted. My favorite movie of all time is October Sky though, it's just a great story, a great message, and the best part is that it's a true story.

Unashamed pop music fan. Recently been reviewing all of Taylor Swift's discography. Also a fan of old big band swing, dance music, and 90s-2000s drum corps. It's very varied!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving in Santa Barbara, CA. Walking the factory floor of the Boeing main assembly plant in Everett, WA. Hanging out in a neighborhood in Rome and having the most amazing food ever. being crammed into the London Underground at 5:30PM on a Wednesday while it's raining outside. Walking through Venice in the twilight.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little bit about a lot of things, and I'm always interested in sharing knowledge and learning more of it! Happy to talk your ear off about topics as varied as physics and aerodynamics to fashion, dance, how to find great deals on flights...

Big foodie. Love to cook, love to eat. Not actually that adventurous when it comes to food but I'm trying to change that! Let's share recipes!
