CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and expand my mind.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the upper left U.S., I'm a new mechanical engineering graduate with a deep gratitude for family and friends. I've been running competitively for over half my life which taught me to appreciate the outdoors and a down to earth lifestyle. I can be introspective but enjoy musing with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is the ultimate goal. We improve ourselves everyday to become better people to create a better world and pursue an enjoyable lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not yet hosted or surfed but have met a couple members of the community and enjoyed talking with them about their travels.

Interests

I'm passionate about running and enjoy good food and company. My second love is dancing and I know my way around a guitar. I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, biking, and simply taking in nature.
