About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive the Swedish Winter.

ABOUT ME

The Basics: Student at Uppsala University in Sweden! For the moment, am studying "Intellectual History," where that will take me, I have no idea. I use my student loans to travel more then I use them for "study related" materials. Being out in the world teaches more then the words on the pages of the over-priced books I am suppose to buy. I enjoy the simply things. A glass of wine, Bon Iver, and good book defines my perfect evening. But I also enjoy socializing, preferably with a cold beverage and some good friends. Sports are a huge part of who I am, watching and playing! I am a die-hard ice hockey fan! Let's go Detroit Red Wings! Still waiting to meet Europeans who love ice hockey as much as me :)

The rest of me is best found out through conversation! We should meet!

PHILOSOPHY

On and on you will hike
and I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS

I have only surfed, never hosted. So if you want to come to Uppsala, you have a place here!

I have CouchSurfed twice. My first time was in Germany, and it forever changed my views on how strangers can come together and change perspectives. Great memories have been made.
