CURRENT MISSION

Seeking mindfulness.

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated with a degree in Neuroscience, and after working in the biotech industry for a year, I want to seek a different application for everything I learned. In short, road trip!

I'm pragmatic, but romantic, thus conflicted often. I'm silly and I make bad jokes. I love the intricate and complex, be it a biological pathway or a minimalist dreamy arthouse film.

I'm not the biggest party monster, but I do enjoy jolly drunk conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

Ritual > routine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed while traveling, hosted for a year, met many surfers through friends who host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Albuquerque, Denver, Seattle, Eugene, Austin and Portland. All my experiences were wonderfully different & across the board awesome. When I hosted, the people I met were diverse, and always kind and unique. I believe that CS is a way to participate in the would community.
