Overview
About Me
I'm always trying to learn new things which includes having new experiences. I often find myself just thinking about or pondering random ideas, concepts (well anything that seems interesting) that I come across in my free time. Having just graduated from UAlbany I'm now moving onto another degree to explore my interests and broaden my knowledge. Thanks for your time in reading this.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on couch surfing to have an adventure and meet people while doing so. Im not looking for crazy stories just new experiences and interesting places to see and travel. Also the main reason I'm on this site specifically I walked in on a conversation between two of my friends about this site and how it allows people to meet new people and experience the areas where one can travel in a more personal manner rather than being a pure tourist which can also be fun.
Interests
Well this honestly changes from day to day and conversation to conversation. Im pretty passionate about space exploration and science as well as anthropology and cultures. Id love to contribute meaningfully to either and hopefully both of these fields.
In my free time I generally am either camping, hiking, biking, messing with my computer or sadly fixing my car. I love to spend time outdoors and just exploring new places.

Music, Movies, and Books
What genre of music cant have some good songs. Pretty much any music is fine by me however, I do have to admit I find myself most often turning on country when I put music on possibly due to some old habits dying hard. haha But seriously I like pretty much anything.
I can't pin down one book as my favorite but some books i really enjoyed recently are The Honest truth about dishonesty, The upside of Irrationality both by Dan Ariely. The Hobbit, Sapiens : a brief history of mankind, The Martian, Red Rising , and Golden Sun.
Generally I like Scifi and Fantasy or historical movies like lord of the rings, Star Wars, and Star Trek, or Monument Men. Though I will often find myself watching random documentaries on occasion.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
What does one consider amazing? I think the most amazing thing I experienced was an Archaeological field school in Costa Rica.
