CURRENT MISSION

avoiding getting a desk job for a while... and in the process travel as much as I can without completely running out of money

ABOUT ME

I'm traveling for a few months around Europe, kind of going by the seat of my pants. Hopefully I'll make it to Christmas.

PHILOSOPHY

"Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth." -Walt Whitman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hostels get so lonely!! There's no better way to get to know a place than having a local tell you what their favorite spots are.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just joined so I've couchsurfed twice with a friend. Hence no activity.

tasting local beers, walking around, spending a long time in museums, astronomy/geology, puzzles, the Chicago Cubs

Beech trees are annoying because they are one of the only types of deciduous trees in the world that retains their dead leaves throughout the winter. It actually requires more energy for them to drop their leaves in the fall than it does to keep them and then lose them in the spring, right before getting new buds.
