Aerospace engineer & rock climber from LA solo-traveling around various cities for the summer, currently Seattle! Always down to make new friends and explore nature or the city :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to travel with flexibility while keeping my budget somewhat reasonable, as well as make some friends along the way and get advice from locals. I really love making conversation with new people and gaining new perspectives on life. I made lots of really awesome friends solo-traveling in Europe last summer and I hope to do the same via CS
