I'm an engineer interested in art, medicine, education, and architecture. My friends used to call me Pikachu for all the reasons you're probably thinking: I smile a lot, laugh easily, and get super excited about certain things. I love a good conversation. Teach me something and we'll be friends :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Choosing favorites is like choosing between breathing and eating. I just can't. Music depends on my mood but I've never liked heavy metal. I used to read a lot of fantasy and scifi as a kid but am getting more into nonfiction stuff. Some books/movies that mean a lot to me:
-Ender's game
-Battle Royale
-Beloved
-Shawshank redemption
-Her
-Calvin and Hobbes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Do people count? I've seen/met some pretty cool people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really into kirigami and installation art. People always think art, architecture, and engineering are really difficult but I wholeheartedly think that if I can do it, so can you. Even better we can do it together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very easy going, cheerful, and respectful. I don't need much to be happy so if its just a couch for even a few days I'll be grateful. I love getting to know my hosts and, if they're free, hanging out with them and sharing their excitement for traveling.
