About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To ninja around the world

ABOUT ME

I am a student in Minneapolis but am currently in Amman, Jordan studying the environment and its accompanying politics, specifically water. I find the environment to be one of the most interesting, enveloping, multipurpose topics ever. That said I love to explore, have a drink at the bar, hang out in a cafe, and challenge myself in as many ways possible.

Basically I like to have fun and am open to many ways of having it.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to learn and develop. I am a large world guy with a love for small community. I grew up in Midwest America and love seeing the world and its many viewpoints. The environment interests me a lot as well. Eco-philosophical-community driven.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this so for now mostly I'm just looking to find interesting people to meet, get suggestions from, or go on adventures with. I will be traveling down the Mediterranean coast in early November so will be looking to couch surf for that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some people for coffee and such, and had a great time!

Interests

How people interact, view, relate to, and use the environment. People. Learning. Exploring. Seeing. Tasting. Living. Challenging myself. Partying.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Sci fi, comedy, action, movies that make you think, documentaries.
Music: Everything though I have my preferences depending on what I want from the music.
Books: Very open in this as well. "Deep Economy", "Beyond Good and Evil", "Wicked" are three good ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

See the sunrise on a cliff in Wadi Rum.

Teach, Learn, Share

Becoming more and more environmentally intelligent, but honestly the more I learn the more I realize I know nothing. That said I am pretty good with taking random ingredients and making a meal. Also random but give me duct tape and I can build you anything.

Countries I’ve Visited

Dominican Republic, Germany

Countries I’ve Lived In

Jordan, United States
