ABOUT ME

Currently, I'm working on my Phd in Mechanical Engineering and robotics in New Haven. I was born and raised in Seattle (sort of), but have always loved to travel, having spent some of my childhood sailing around the world with my parents.

PHILOSOPHY

don't freak out

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, i've had one amazing couch surfing experience and would love to have more. I'd like to host in the future but am not really set up to right now.

Interests

I love to ski, sail, hike, and generally enjoy the outdoors. Recently I've started Kite Surfing, and love to scuba dive. I am also a bit of a book worm at times, and lover dogs.
