About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeking inspiration. Creating journeys.

ABOUT ME

I'm the guy you meet at a park, reading a book or The New Yorker, that can make see you the world in a whole different light. I'm also the guy at a party that you'll probably laugh the hardest with.

I'm a recent college graduate and studied cities and environmental biology.

I enjoy drinking coffee, wine, beer and tea and sitting in cafes and parks. I love exploring cities, sketching, watching movies and questioning stuff. I'm fascinated with history, culture, art and design.

PHILOSOPHY

To be happy and learn as much as I can while I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use it as a way to travel frugally or host other travelers that might need a place to crash for a few days.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only ever couchsurfed domestically, mostly in the northeastern coast of the United States. It was a pleasant experience since my hosts were very accommodating and hospitable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in Seoul a couple of years ago and was deeply fascinated with the city's infrastructure. I met a few of the locals and found their company to be very rewarding and valuable. It's exhilarating to get lost in a large city and immersing myself in a language and culture that I barely know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to live for experience. In return, maybe you'll learn a thing or two about my life! Bonus points if you're interested in design and art.
