I like hiking, biking, rock climbing and generally being outside. I like to go to local pubs. I like to learn about a place's relationship to any type of sport, and enjoy watching live matches/games.

I like this quote:
If I have an apple and you have an apple and we exchange these apples, then you and I still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
-George Bernard Shaw

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer folk-y music. Movies are great as long as I'm entertained - I'm pretty easy to please. I like things written by Chuck Palahniuk, Baruch Spinoza, Giorgio Agamben, John Dewey, Kurt Vonnegut, Karl Popper.. so much more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I changed my mind about some pretty crucial things. I think that's really neat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know things about bicycles, sports, and science/society interplay.
I can't play any musical instruments, but I want to learn! Also, learning idioms in various languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my home, any idea that you'll listen to me drone about.. I'm not sure what you want yet, but I'll try to share.
