I'm a college student at the University of Pennsylvania studying mechanical engineering. I'm originally from southern California. I'm an optimistic and easy-going person just trying to find my place in the world!

PHILOSOPHY

"I am driven by two main philosophies: know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you."
- Neil deGrasse Tyson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently living in a college dorm (pretty restrictive rules too) so hosting is impossible at the moment.

Since I'm a college student I'm not going to be traveling that much, but I figure that whenever I do, couch surfing seems like a great opportunity! Especially as a poor college kid who is fascinated by the diversity of people.
