About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling and experiencing as much as possible before returning to school in 2011.

ABOUT ME

I believe the point of life is to enjoy it and I do everything I can to make that happen.

I recently graduated from the University of Michigan with a double major in Physics and Astronomy. Throughout college I was a poster-child for the phrase 'I work hard and I play hard.' I was forced to study long strenuous hours but always made time to relax and hang out with my friends or go out and party til the sun comes up.

I am very athletic and don't think I have come across a sport that I don't enjoy.

I am very much a scientist and engineer and love having technical conversations and debates.

I am a very happy and positive person and think that people who are not should fix whatever it is that makes them unhappy.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe the purpose of life is to enjoy it, and I try to do everything I can to make that possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a new member, thus I do not have much to say about how I participate. However, I am excited to start.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have extensive couchsurfing experience, however all of it occurred in my college town and began as an encounter with someone at a bar or party and as the night continued people (or I) needed a place to crash.

Interests

I spend lots of the summer boating, jetski-ing, actual skiing and relaxing on a nice beach.
Outdoors: All sports(sand volleyball), walking, camping and hiking.
Indoors: Again all sports, bars, clubs, cards(Euchre, Poker), movies and pool.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy virtually all movies but my favorite type would have to be action/thriller.

Basically the same response to music, depending on the situation I enjoy all types of music.

Most of my reading material consists of textbooks but I also enjoy books like "What Einstein Told his Barber." I found I enjoy books on tape while driving and have 'read': Last Man Standing, Living Biblically, Extreme Measures and The Iliad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

30 day 8,000 mile road trip covering the Western half of the United States.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I have a fairly extensive knowledge of everything 'Physics' and thoroughly enjoy talking about science and engineering. I also played football for eight years and have introduced many people and taught them about the game.

Learn: I would like to improve my Spanish and in general am always up for learning something new.
