Hi there! I'm Eric, and I'm currently living in D.C.. I research why people get cancer when they're exposed to radiation. I haven't found the answer yet, to put it mildly.

When I'm not in lab I love to travel. I've lived in three countries and traveled to several more. I also love to cook and am writing a cook book for other students. I used to race bicycles but now I only ride to get from place to place. I love hearing other peoples' stories and I'm always happy to talk bikes, food, beer, whiskey, wine, travel, or anything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and Couchsurfing has been a great way to do that. I enjoy traveling, y'all enjoy traveling, so it's easy to have a conversation.

Interests

Food, travel, learning about people and places, cycling, running, beer, photography, science, cheesy jokes...the list goes on. I'm rarely bored.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: can get pretty hipster. I'm constantly looking for new songs, usually some light electronic or jazz accompanies my studying. I used to have a fairly big record collection with everything from Count Bassie to Ratatat to The Black Keys.

Movies: Any Marvel movie. I've seen them all at least twice and they turn me into a giant giddy child. Also mind thrillers - The Usual Suspects is a favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've flown around the world two different times (both ~26,000 miles to the East). I lost 10 pounds doing it the first time (thanks, malaria pills).

Teach, Learn, Share

Want to learn to make Italian or Mexican food? I got you. Can probably converse in those languages but would love to learn any and all others. I'm a decent local tour guide as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An appreciation for a good story, a good meal, a sizable air mattress, and a passion for travel.
