ABOUT ME

Oof time to update this.

I lived my first 24 years in the US - primarily in Colorado.

Graduated August 2011 with a masters in particle physics and a bachelors in art history. Found myself unattached with some time to kill and life to live before I did that whole PhD thing so I figured I'd move abroad. Currently living and working as a high school physics teacher here in Hangzhou China - a totally interesting, sometime arresting, culture and I feel so blessed to get to be a part of it.

PHILOSOPHY

I have opinions, but each situation deserves it's own attention.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel, and I love to do it cheaply, and I'd love to help others do the same.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted 5 or so people when I lived in the states, and a few people here in China.

I've surfed twice so far here in China, looking forward to doing it more when I start getting more time off.

Interests

I love art, opera, physics, and traveling. I don't have much time for much else. But when I do it's hanging out with friends in some capacity. Spending a lot of time now trying to wrap my brain around this language.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read sort of 50-50 stuff for my brain and stuff for my soul. I love science (for the lay-person) books, and I love art books, and I love history books. But I also love those trashy books. And really love a mixture of the two.

Been reading the Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones series. Sheepishly loving it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Neo-Nazi white power rally in Rome.

New years eve party on the Nile with someone I later found out was an Egyptian folk star.

Shared a glass of Japanese whisky to the food of a Turkish man on an open roof in Luxor.

Hiked the wisdom trail in a cloud up Lantau Peak.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not even sure how I'd start this section. I have so much little random knowledge I'd be happy to share, but I don't know what's redundant for people to hear though. If you have a question about Hangzhou or Colorado feel free to ask though.

Countries I’ve Visited
