CURRENT MISSION

Exploring new places

ABOUT ME

I am a California native who loves going to new places. I am an academic and spend most of my free time with books, live music, and games. I've been in graduate school for the past two years, so I'm due for some exploration. I love good beer, good food, and good company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people in new places, and to get to know the cities I travel to.
