I'm currently a graduate student, striving to learn as much as possible, see as many places as I can, and meet all the people with whom I cross paths.

Any time spent talking to people, enjoying music, eating, traveling, trying new coffee, and being outside of my comfort zone is time well-spent!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to join a world-wide community of travelers and adventurers, to see places, meet new people, and hopefully host some visitors when I am capable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm.. Amazing is a relative word. But one day that has stuck with me is when I came across a baby deer with its leg caught in the roots of a tree at the bank of a river, with its head in the water. It took a while, but I eventually helped the deer break free and make its way back to shore. I only classify this as amazing because I was so nervous the whole time I was doing it!

Teach, Learn, Share

play some music, make pizza dough, make cat sounds, maybe some language exchange
