About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Europe Version 2.0 A massive backpacking trip across the majority of the continent

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty easy going person. I enjoy meeting new people and doing new things. I have more hobbies then I can probably remember and am always finding new ones. I Currently live in Colleyville, Texas, but I have lived in Michigan and California. I am currently attending the University of Texas at Arlington and studying economics and accounting. I am debating whether or not I should shave and have not shaved for 3 days now, which is a personal record for me as I generally dislike facial hair. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me and ask.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not the biggest Vonnegut fan but I've always liked this quote, "Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I hope that I get the chance to meet people and show them around Texas as well as through surfing couches. I plan on offering a couch as soon as I move out and get my own place, which I am looking forward to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Heidelberg, Germany on Heather and Joe's Couch.

Surfed in Prague, Czech Republic on Jane's Couch.

Looking forward to more couchsurfing and hopefully hosting.

Interests

Backpacking, Kayaking, Woodworking, Reading, Visiting Museums, Guitar (even though I suck, don't ask me to play it because I won't), Economics, Pretty much everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving in the kelp forests off of the coast of California and coming nearly face to face with a rather large mako shark, which being on my certification dive and having watched Open Water the night before, was pretty freaking scary but oddly incredible

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little bit about a lot of things.... and a lot bit about a few things. I am pretty good at explaining math, economics, and most science concepts. Other then that I am always looking for a good conversation about pretty much anything. If I don't know about it I would love to learn about it.
