A devoted follower of Anthony Bourdain, I've been inspired to travel the world, share experiences over food/drinks, and discover new cultural phenomena. In 2017/2018 I spent one year in Buenos Aires, where I truly integrated into the daily life of the city and its people.

I was born and raised in San Francisco and am currently finishing a degree in International Politics & Economics and Spanish at Middlebury College in Vermont. I played two years of soccer for Middlebury, but have since decided to focus on other passions like modeling, music, traveling, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm thoroughly interested in getting to know cities through people that live or are from there. My experiences traveling are always enriched through these experiences, so Couchsurfing seems like a perfect service for that. Many friends of mine have used it in the past and (knowing the kind of guy I am) inspired me to do the same.

Some non-house-djs that I've been listening to a lot recently: Saba, Daniel Caesar, Kamasi Washington, Khruangbin, Nick Hakim, serpentwithfeet, Ski Mask The Slump God, Tom Misch, Frank Ocean, Kaytranada, James Blake

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is not necessarily a "thing" and more of a broad life decision that I've currently in the process of making. Given my background, school, grades, etc., I've been pressured into pursuing a more traditional career path in Finance or Consulting. The more that I've thought about it, the more I've realized that, although I COULD work in these industries, I would not be happy and not be listening to my deepest desires. I've therefore decided to work more as an entrepreneur and develop my own business endeavors through my travels and meeting people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very easygoing and adaptable. I love to do my own thing, but also value spending time and sharing experiences with others.
