About Me

Hello !

Taking a gap year off university right now to travel the world (Feb 2025-Feb 2026). With four years of engineering school done at this moment, all that remains is two years of law school.

NOTE: I got into an accident outside of Guadalajara so am travelling more slowly to acclimate the bike. So please understand that if I cannot make it to your place on time due to bike issues !

ABOUT MY TRIP: I left Seattle September 3rd and have absolutely hammered pavement coming down to Mexico because of visa issues with the US. My destination is CHILE.

I'm enchanted by all the smiles and help I have received at each gas station, and can share so much of my experience such that you're living it with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to connect with people who appreciate travellers and making memories that last a lifetime.

I've been blitzing down the Americas and people ask me whether I regret missing visiting XYZ and I always confidently answer "No, because I've loved every person I have stayed with and they have demonstrated generosity and kindness and shared stories that have made every night so special for me"
