About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and live fast while I'm still young :)

ABOUT ME

I'm an avid traveler, and fortunately I found a career that can take me around the world. Many places I go are ones I knew I wanted to see, but usually the best places are the ones I never knew existed. I love the thrill of booking a ticket into a country and not even knowing where I'm going to stay the night or what I'm going to see or do. If you keep yourself open to opportunities, you're bound to enjoy yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open to new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Definitely need to stay on some couches in far-off places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a bunch of people, and they are always very considerate and otherwise awesome!

Interests

Music, movies, sports (mainly volleyball, ice hockey, biking, but I'll play anything), computers and video games, traveling of course, reading, sleeping :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Gladiator, 300, and other boy movies. Also, most movies with Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, or Edward Norton. Great actors.

Clancy, Crichton, Tolkien, Game of Thrones, Gladwell, and many others.

Music...long list. Anything from techno/house to Coldplay to Ash Grunwald (Australian blues/roots) to Top 40 to punk rock/pop. If it moves me, I like it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived through sandstorms, spiders, heat, days and days without sleep, being lost and not knowing the language, all while working with radiation and explosives. It was great!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of useless facts, but if you ask me anything about a scientific phenomenon, chances are I'll know the principles behind it (or have a decent clue). Other than that, I'm willing to teach anyone anything I can, and I want to learn as much as possible.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bahamas, Canada, Cayman Islands, Croatia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Qatar, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State, Zambia

Countries I’ve Lived In
