About Me

Hey what's up! I just graduated from college with a B.S. in CS, and I'm traveling a bit around before I start working.

I really like going on hikes, sightseeing in places I've never been to, and just trying to meet new people. Show me something new and intreguing and I'll try to show or tell you something too!

In terms of outside travel interests, I enjoy Pokemon and singing quite a lot. Yay A Capella in college!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people, hear stories, tell my stories, and just connect as much as possible :D.

I'm trying to visit as many places in Europe before I have to start working :P. My dad told me about all his great times backpacking after he graduated from Cambridge and I was inspired!

I really would also like to meet as many people as possible and have intriguing conversations. Hostels are great too, but couchsurfing I think might give a better impression of the local area. I've been told hosts are amazing and give lots of suggestions and sometimes hang out a lot!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Beatles, Muse, Radiohead, Sam Smith, Mumford and Sons, many more?

Movies: MARVEL, Pitch Perfect, pretty much all those disney movies from when I was a wee little kid.

Books: Hmmmm not a hugggeee reader. I've always said my favorite book of all time though was the Phantom Tollbooth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmmm maybe hiking Mt. Baldy and other tall mountains around Claremont, CA? But that isn't thaaaat amazing. I roasted marshmallows over lava when I went to bird watch in Guatemala!

I think making it through Harvey Mudd College (tiny tech school you probably haven't heard of) was probably the greatest achievement of my life. Glad to be out and traveling now!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I generally try as much as possible to bond with people, and get into meaningful conversations!

I would love to just go out to awesome places in the area with my host, to get a great impression of a city as a tourist and as someone who has lived in the area for a while.
