About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life as it comes!

ABOUT ME

although I am a huge nerd, I like to think I don't live up the socially awkward stereotype! I decided to study chemistry because it is about as close to magic as you can get.

PHILOSOPHY

work hard, keep laughter about, go with the flow, and everything will work itself out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Singin' in the Rain, Little Miss Sunshine
Eclectic mix of music that depends on my mood. Big fan of Phoenix, the Black Keys, and Yanni (that last one was a joke)
A Clockwork Orange, The Road, Lord of the Flies. I'm always reading at least four books; like my music interests, they depend on my mood

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

scuba diving in the Cayman Islands. Amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

handstands and backflips, chemistry, how to make a killer Tiramisu

want to learn: improve my spanish, rock climbing, sailing
