About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be emerged in Swiss culture!

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old male with a wonderful wife. Unfortunately, she isn't traveling with me this summer as she has to work. I dream of someday living in Switzerland, and so am happy to spend the summer there, but currently live in Chicago. Chicago is like Switzerland, except the tempature is warmer and colder, it is flat, and it is only 200 years old.

I am a JD/ PhD student at Northwestern University (Kellogg). My PhD is in Finance. I am excited to become a professor someday. I know no one likes finance people, like bankers, right now but I promise you there are some very fun, intelligent, kind-hearted people in the field and they can potentially have a lot to offer.

I love sharing my experiences and hearing others', I laugh easily, and I do my best to be respectful to those around me.

PHILOSOPHY

This question is too deep for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the community. Right now I am travelling, but when I get home, my couch is open to all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a newbie. I am currently traveling, but when I get back to Chicago, my couch is open to all.

Interests

I am an athletic geek. I enjoy math, reading, and the arts, but also love to go biking, snowboarding, skiing, swimming, surfing, and hiking. At times it feels like a double life

Teach, Learn, Share
