CURRENT MISSION

To challenge and be challenged

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty laid back guy who is insatiably curious about most everything. My interests span from math and science to theater and modern dance. I love to travel and hope to do a lot more of it, the weirder the place the better. Its really hard to faze me.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for the living. Fear, self-doubt, and self-pity are the most destructive forces out there. If you don't leave your comfort zone often, you are not doing it right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just getting started. I live in a dorm now, so can't really host. But, if you contact me I'll do my best to get you a couch in the area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have mostly just hung out with CS people at gatherings, went camping with them, and hung out with surfers at my friend's house.

Interests

I love skiing, camping, reading, and arguing about politics. I am also into seeing performance and visual arts, discussing philosophy, and bullshitting about life. I'll try almost anything once (or twice).
