I recently graduated with a B.S. in physics. Currently working at a design firm, but in my free time, I like to code and learn languages.

I enjoy being active (hiking, sword-fighting, wandering, biking), reading/talking/living philosophy, looking at art, street art, and graffiti.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people from around the world, whether that be as a host (wherever I happen to be living at the moment, currently McMinnville, OR) or as a guest.

I want to be a polyglot by the end of my life, so if I can learn some foreign languages better, that'd be great!

Interests

Art, science, technology, languages, traveling, history, photography, and books.

I try to collect a book from every country that I visit, preferably in the native/national language(s) if I can find it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Two films I've really enjoyed:
- Blue is the Warmest Color
- Barfuss

A few books that I've really relished:
- "Essais," Montaigne
- "Candide," Voltaire
- "The Prophet," Kahlil Gibran
- "Stuff Matters: Exploring the Marvelous Materials That Shape Our Man-Made World," Mark Miodownik
- "East of Eden", Steinbeck
- "Man's Search for Meaning," Viktor Frankl

You can see all the music I listen to here: https://open.spotify.com/user/1292417205

I'm open to just about anything in this department.

Teach, Learn, Share

I tutor mathematics and physics at the college level, so if you have any interest in learning more about that, I'll grab a white board and we can get started!

I also know a lot about building electronics, and I can show you how to make an analog keyboard or help you put together a 3D printer from scratch.

I'm looking to learn more languages, but I like learning anything -- particularly regarding the human experience!
