Nursing grad student looking to broaden his world, share real human connections, make new friends, and--once I have my own place to offer--return the hospitality that I hope to receive.

Easygoing, sociable but not loud, thoughtful, concerned with social justice (and particularly questions of racial justice and health equity), a reader, a lover of art films and B-horror alike, and a fitness enthusiast but not a meathead, or into body-shaming, or any other of that gross stuff.

Half-Thai, and happy to make you Thai food. Lifelong Buddhist and always looking for sangha, or at least friends to share meditation/mindfulness practices with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make my world a little bigger, meet new friends, and pay it forward once I'm in a place to do so.
