I’m always seeking to learn from and connect with people. I’m in graduate school for social work and neuroscience. Reports are that I’m easy to talk to and really clean.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love being able to spend time with new people in novel settings. I’m a wanderer and I most appreciate getting to know places through people, rather than the other way around.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music is huge for me, constantly listening to different stuff that opens up a new contour in my brain. I go anywhere from listening to Etta James and Otis Redding to playing the music festival beeps, boops and wubs. Watching movies is one of my all time favorite things to do :) I really enjoy reading. Right now I’m into the Russian existential novels, and my staples in medicine and neuroscience.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I’ve had the amazing opportunity to be a hospice volunteer
Teach, Learn, Share
I’ve got lots of weird knowledge and experience if someone wants to hear it. I have formal education in psychology/neuroscience, biology, and exercise science, and my interests have taken me in all sorts of directions. I’m an explorer of the mind, so philosophical conversations are a place I love to move into, but I’m happy to just shoot the shit as well. I’d like to think, first and foremost, that I’m a kind and compassionate presence
What I Can Share With Hosts
I really enjoy cooking, and believe it or not, cleaning. Diverse knowledge and a weird sense of humor. Respect for boundaries but also an interest in openness.
