I am currently interning as a research chemist at a winery, but my real passion lies in creating experiences with passionate people. I have been backpacking in several different countries and enjoy learning about cultures outside of my own. I am an open book and am always ready to get in to a deep conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best friend and I are starting a YouTube channel that challenges us to travel to different cities, towns, places, etc. for only $50 a piece. We want to meet new friends, learn new ideas and cultures, explore cities, challenge ourselves as people, and try new foods.

Interests

I am an experience based person. I tend to get overly obsessed with one hobby at a time. For example I played 300 rounds of golf in a single year, I used to climb big walls in Yosemite, I played college baseball, and currently I cycle 200 miles a week.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once a nationally ranked waterskier.

Teach, Learn, Share

“An idea without a plan is just a wish”

“I used to think I was indecisive, but now I don’t know”

When you feel good, you look good”

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don’t have much to offer in terms of material items, but I can offer a comfy couch, a warm shower, and an opportunity to do laundry. Outside of that I could point you in the right direction in terms of food, night life, and the local charm.
