About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to motorcycle through Europe and hammock camp and couchsurf on the way!

ABOUT ME

I'm a person who enjoys exploring new places, things, and ideas. I'm self-sufficient and don't need plans to have a great time. In fact, my favorite trips are the ones where I have no idea where I'm going.

Currently, I'm living in Munich, Germany, doing an exchange program with my home university in California. I'm studying Mechanical Engineering.

PHILOSOPHY

Time spent with people is never wasted time. The best time in life comes from connecting with people and being with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Regrettably, in my student dorm, I'm not able to host right now.

Interests

Backpacking and Hiking are some of my favorite things. Growing up in California and in Big Sur area I've developed a passion for being outdoors and seeing new places and geography. The most exciting thing about traveling for me isn't the sites or the monuments-it's the countryside usually.

Also, I love playing guitar.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love to read. When there's time. The Giver, The Hobbit, Game of Thrones, Ender's Game, Dune, etc.

Music! Love all of it. I'm a big fan of hypem.com and as a result, I listen to all sorts of music. Some of my favorite stuff is Bon Iver, William Fitzsimmons, The Album Leaf, Sigur Ros, Copeland, Mae, Deathcab for Cutie, and The Weepies. If you want to hear some of what I like: check out some songs here: http://hypem.com/poopspeedstream

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff jumping in the middle of the night. There is an indescribable terror that you feel as you wait to hit the water in the pitch blackness. Fantastic.
