I'm a third year biology student at the University of Washington in Seattle. I'm taking this quarter off of school because I feel like there are important things I can learn from traveling that I can't possibly learn at university.

My main priority in life is to treat all people with peace, kindness, and respect. I believe that getting to know other people and sharing your thoughts and experiences with them is the best way to grow as an individual.

I love conversations and learning from other people, and am an open book when it comes to talking about myself. I think we should all be happy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently backpacking Europe (until May 12th) and am interested in meeting as many new people as possible. If that also means a place to stay, then I have no complaints!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big lover of music, anything from folk and indie electronic to classical. Reading is also one of my favorite hobbies, I'm always down to have a conversation about books and to hear what your favorites are. I don't watch too many movies, but love new suggestions!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I do research on how insect brains process flower scents.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages! I'm interested in learning the basic phrases of whatever country I'm in, as well as just hearing about each country from the native perspective. I love to meditate and do yoga as well, which is always great with company!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a laid back, friendly guy. If you're willing to host me I'll make sure it's a positive experience for both of us.
