CURRENT MISSION

Experience as much as possible B-)

ABOUT ME

I love eating. Good conversation. Good food. Good music. Great people. I am adventurous, I love travelling, and I am always open to new and exciting things. I love meeting new people and making new friends from all around the world, in hopes that someday when they want to travel, they have a welcoming place to stay in my home!

Aspiring to be a research scientist in marine geochemistry and hopefully one day I will do field research in submersibles. Honestly, nothing excites me more than the unknown.

PHILOSOPHY

Question everything//Ordinary is boring//Sleep when you're dead//Menschen sind komisch//Another day another sandwich

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Update to the update: I got naked at the top of a mountain in Norway, overlooking a glacier in Finse. It was cold.

Updated: I sat on the edge of the Alps in Switzerland, overlooking what seemed like the entire world.

I said with a crew of 26 across the Atlantic and south into the Carribean Sea for 40 days away from land researching the oceans pH in accordance to pteropod shells collected at various depths in the water column. The sunrises and sets were like no other, especially when we climbed up top the 136ft sailboats foremast.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cultural and social norms are always appreciated and I like to practice them to be as polite and welcoming as possible. When having guests, set a pineapple on the table to very warmly welcome them B-)
