I grew up in a family of artists and naturally gravitated towards the arts at an early age. When I was young I was very into music and taught myself how to play the drums, bass, and guitar.

In high school I joined the Academic Decathlon program and won five national championships.

I am currently taking a gap year, and am an assistant coach for my former Academic Decathlon team.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I like Couchsurfing because it allows for more unique and memorable experiences when traveling. What I've always taken away from the different places I've been was not necessarily the touristy sites, but the great times I had with my company. Couchsurfing allows me both a new experience, and allows to build friendships with new people that I would have not met otherwise, but who share a love for life, and an interest in the lives and stories of others.

Intereses

Learning is one of my favorite activities. My favorite subjects to study are: philosophy, world history, and neuroscience.

I am interested in eastern contemplative practice. I try to make sure to meditate at least once a day.
