About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live it up while I can

ABOUT ME

I'm from California and have lived in Nebraska for the past year studying CHEM E. My current forte is fermentation.

PHILOSOPHY

To live is to learn. Internalization promotes non-existence. Spirituality = humility.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I return to Nebraska, its open season on my couch if I have a good experience this summer with CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done my own private couch surfing with my friends in the US. It's exciting to meet random people and continue my wanderings. Some of the hostels I've stayed at have been couch-like.

Interests

Science and Engineering, Sports, Hiking, Fishing, Snowboarding, SCUBA diving, working on my guitar skills, making things from scratch and of course traveling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most media these days is salvagable. Of course, The Big Lebowski, Wayne's World, provided a hilarious framework for my post adolescent behavior. Cartoons are also awesome. I never thought I would find "Greg the Bunny" entertaining, but now I know puppets are just like us.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Twenty two 18 year olds survive a rugby tour to Ireland supervised by two people.
