I went to school for engineering and have been an engineer for about 5 years. These past five years have been fun, but I'm beginning to realize that working the same 10 to 12 hours a day, isn't what life is about.

I love learning new things. I'm currently very into an author and human guinea pig Tim Ferriss. I've read and tried to implement as many things, in my life as possible, from his books Four Hour Work Week, Four Hour Body and Four Hour Chef. This has lead to a healthier, happier and hopefully a life not dedicated to work, but instead to amazing experiences.

I love cooking and being very active, whether that means going for runs, bike rides, lifting weights. Other things I'm learning are ballroom dancing, German, and creating websites.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are several reasons why I want to start Couchsurfing. One being to get out of my current comfort zone and learn to meet new people and go to new places! I've begun to realize that I want far fewer things and more experiences. The world has so many things out there, that I've always thought of just as dreams, but now believe I need to take action and make them become a reality!

Interests

Reading books to improve and simplify ones life. (Vagabonding, Four Hour Work Week, Four Hour Body, Four Hour Chef, Wild, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, etc.)

Outdoor activities such as biking, running, hiking, golfing, just exploring and walking around cities.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most kinds of music, just depends on what I'm feeling at the moment.

I like a couple types of movies older comedies like Dumb and Dumber and now I'm more into documentaries such as Mile Mile & a Half, Ride the Divide, and Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

Books: Other than the ones I've already mentioned, I'm also a fan of the Millennium series. (Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest)
