I'm a biomedical engineer working with neonatal health infrastructure in Malawi. I'm very friendly and passionate about learning pretty much everything (which is why I'm trying to learn a ridiculous amount of languages, but not getting much past "Hello" and "I'm tired" in any of them).

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My favorite thing about couchsurfing is being able to make a home in most cities that I travel to. Couchsurfing is unique in that it gives the opportunity to see a city on more than just an exterior level, and to meet people that might have never crossed your path otherwise.

兴趣

I love photography (analog and digital), music, reading, and being outside. I like dancing of all sorts, especially salsa, bachata, and swing (though I think my enthusiasm outweighs my skill) and learning new languages. This year, I started doing acroyoga with some friends in Malawi, and have been flying (and falling) ever since.

音乐、电影和书籍

Hard to narrow down. Aerosmith, The Rumour Said Fire, Muse, the Strokes, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, and Hey Marseilles (just to name a few artists), but really anywhere from alt rock to jazz to classical.

My favorite movies are Dogville and Adam's Apples (though, again, hard to narrow down). My favorite books at the moment are Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Steven King's short story anthologies, and Haruki Murakami's The Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I spent 2 months in Rwanda fixing hospital equipment with the NGO Engineering World Health (EWH). This time changed my entire perspective on what I wanted out of life and how big the world is, and I can't wait to see that perspective keep changing.

教，学，和分享

I love learning new languages, and would love to hear yours and what some of your favorite expressions are.

I like cooking, playing the guitar/harmonica (though I'm not very good at either), and photography. I have some skills in darkroom photography and development, and know a bit about global health initiatives and challenges, and biomedical engineering research that I'd love to share with you.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Traveling experiences, an introduction to acroyoga (all you need is a flat piece of ground and a healthy appreciation for falling), and discussions about food, global health, and anything you find interesting.
