Nerdy scientist finally taking some time off to travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying something new! Really would like to get to know locals and fellow travelers as I make my way around the world. Would really like to learn more about languages. Bonus points if you can recommend to me a good jogging/running route 😊 Double bonus points if you go running with me 😊😊 Triple bonus points if you show me a breathtaking view of your city/home😊😊😊

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about: outer space exploration, human physiology and psychology, very bad dance moves, and American popular culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Amazing stories; humor; insights into life as an American/scientist/nerd; music recommendations.... if you have a guitar or open mic night nearby, I can sing you a tune
