About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I got the travel bug. Only one cure.

ABOUT ME

I've lived all over the US, and now I'm taking on the rest of the world. This past summer I traveled across Europe, pretty much on my own.

I'm adventurous. I've skydived. I've taken risks. Spur of the moment, I've hopped in the car and took long journeys. Several times, I've taken all my belongs and moved a thousand miles away to someplace new, all on my own, to start a whole new life.

I am all about a good conversation with a cup of coffee in a cozy environment. Life is all about the people you fill it with, and I love the people in mine. I've achieved a lot in my time, but more is to come. I have big plans and I intend on fulfilling them.

PHILOSOPHY

Care deeply, think wisely, spread laughter, be kind, and appreciate this time here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I organized meetups when I lived in WV. Now I've moved to DC and I'm looking to get involved.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to couchsurfers for the first time when I lived in Houston. When I moved to WV, I organized regular meetups. From those, I've met people that changed me forever, for the better (no exaggeration.) So far, I have couchsurfed once, and it was an excellent experience.

Interests

Nerdy stuff, like scifi. I'm teaching myself Russian at the moment. Also running, cooking, weight lifting, intellectual pursuits. Honestly, there are a dozen hobbies I would love to start up but I just don't have the time for it all.

  • environment
  • cooking
  • coffee
  • running
  • traveling
  • scuba diving
  • engineering

Music, Movies, and Books

You're not gonna figure me out from these.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving. Space Shuttle Program. Move from place to place on my own. Traveled across Western Europe on my own (but had friends at my stops along the way.)

Teach, Learn, Share

Theres lots of things I could teach about Engineering. Evolution (a hobby of mine I rarely mention, and not the hobby of evolving, but the theory of.) I'm eager to learn Russian at the moment.
