ABOUT ME

Right now I burn most of my time with school, my job, and my friends. Even though I've seen a lot of different places over the course of my life, I still feel like I've barely begun to explore all the crazy stuff the world must have for me to experience.

One last thing: I have a double air mattress, so if you don't have the couch space, maybe you'll have the floor space!?

PHILOSOPHY

We only get so much time in this life before we're no longer able to get more time. Live life like you're almost outta time!

That's what I say, anyhow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm hoping to start off my couchsurfing experiences with a trip to DC so I can see the Rally to Restore Sanity!

That said, I hope I can teach everyone I meet something new, and I kinda hope to get the same in return. Seriously, let's be friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is new for me! In the past the only kind of couchsurfing I've experienced has been with people I already know--friends helping me out when I need a place to stay. I'm really hoping that couchsurfing on a bigger scale like this will let me make even more friends.

Interests

Anything that makes me think. I love trying to fix problems, especially when it forces me to learn something new.

I work for my school helping people with different kinds of media and technology, but that's only a small part of who I am and what I do. I also like to run long distances for no particular reason and read about people with opinions vastly different from my own. Seriously, I love to be challenged.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Appalachian Trail during the start of fall is one of the most humbling and beautiful experiences you can have for yourself. I hiked much of the NC portion with my father, which made it even more special for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to fix things--if it's broken, then it's a puzzle, and I love figuring them out. Me and my friends also love to cook and can endow anyone hosting us with some of our favorite cooking techniques.

We're down for learning anything you have to teach us! I am an open book.
