I've been traveling home and abroad in my free time for a few years now. I've had the opportunity to get lost in southern Italy, miss my bus connection in Berlin, and survive the financial toll of a single night in Zurich. More recently I've been alpine hiking, whale-spotting, and bear-avoiding my way across Alaska.

I'm a Florida native, and I just finished my undergrad in Aerospace Engineering, with a concentration in Astronautics. I recently accepted a research assistantship position for my Graduate degree, also in Aerospace. I've done a lot of work with rockets, spacecraft, and satellite propulsion, and I love discussing Mars colonization strategies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel that couchsurfing has allowed me to experience so much more along my travels, and my interactions with other surfers, guests, and generous hosts have been some of the most memorable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty okay at baking bread, and even managed to recreate a batch of the Kanelbullar that compromised most of my diet in Sweden. I try my best to not get flour everywhere too!
