I'm currently a college student en route to become an electrical engineer (although the type of engineering is still variable)! In the process, I'm trying to get as much extracurricular experience as possible, so I try to continually push the limits of what I know (sometimes outside of my comfort zone, but this is generally a good thing!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently backpacking Europe with my brother, and was recommended to CouchSurfing. I love the idea and want to get more involved once I return home!

What I Can Share with Hosts

In camping, there is a philosophy of "leave no trace," which I follow in others' homes, too. Despite being hassle-free, I am ready to share my experiences of home, travel, and life, and hope in return to get a glimpse into the lives and cultures of hosts and their countries. At the same time, I am comfortable being "on my own" for hosts who structly want to share space. I am an early riser and also early to bed (though I can stay up/out if I need to), and adjusting to others' schedules is easy for me to do. Although not on Couchsurfing, I have spent 9 days hosted by both friends and family in various countries. I am also a decent cook.
