About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live & Learn

ABOUT ME

I like to have a good laugh and make people laugh, and I refuse to take things very seriously. I'm in a Genetics Ph.D. program at the University of Georgia. I love listening to music, playing music (usually ukulele) and singing. My family and friends are really important to me.

I'm all about witty deadpan brevity.

PHILOSOPHY

Not judging, continuously observing and learning, but inevitably forgetting what I've learned because there's so much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted and surfed a few times. All have been great experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted this great Aussie girl named Maria while I was living in Germany last year. She was a street performer who used hoola-hoops that were on fire.

Interests

Biology--mainly plants and bacteria. Nature--hiking, some camping, swimming outside. German language and culture. Reading--most kinds. Biking--not driving whenever possible.
