CURRENT MISSION

Discover happiness through other people.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently being educated in neurobiology at the University of Kansas. I've found my science education to be pretty fulfilling, something I didn't expect coming into school. It's nice to have found a passion. I hope it lasts.

Besides being a nerd, I do enjoy playing various sports - this last semester I started learning Jujitsu, and it's pretty entertaining - along with seeing the occasional good movie, reading the occasional good book, and spending time with my good friends in the meantime. I'm always looking for a new friend, always. To steal a quote from a friend's profile, I like people who like people.

Note - I'm currently having difficulties finishing the verification process because of a malfunction with my credit card. I'm in correspondence with my bank and hope to fix the problem soon.

PHILOSOPHY

The more you know you don't know shit. Sounds pessimistic, but I don't think it actually is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am eager to couchsurf the world, and can currently accommodate a couchsurfer or two if the timing is right. It would be more if I didn't have roommates to satiate.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't pretend to know a thing about the world, but the observation I've continuously made is that we constantly make the mistake of assuming the universe is consistent.
