ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of a sarcastic, goofball who loves to learn, particularly about space and science (one day, I'd like to go into space). Those who get to know me for longer than an hour say I'm funny. I am the type of person that never fails to 'aw' in the presence of babies or dogs: they're just so cute. I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world and hope to continue for as long as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered couchsurfing while traveling in Europe and have had very pleasant experiences. I truly love meeting people from different countries and hope to return the favor to those visiting the US. Right now, I am in a PhD program so my traveling abroad experiences will be limited. So, I hope to scratch my itch to travel vicariously through those I host :)

Interests

Watching comedy shows and movies, going on hikes, checking out good places to eat, playing soccer, hanging out with friends, trying new beer and wine, most things beach/ocean related, cooking, and exploring new cities.
